Forefront Online Protection for Exchange Browser Support Level Definitions
| Support Level | Definition |
| TIER 1 | All advanced features should work well, full testing is done, and bugs fixed/triaged at par with any other feature. All bugs will be triaged and fixed. There may be some cases where certain functionality (e.g. ActiveX controls) is only available only via a specific browser. |
| TIER 2 | Tier2 support means all functionality should be accessible, but only a sanity test is required and we will rely on inherent compatibility offered by the browser. However major bugs will be triaged and fixed. |
| TIER 3 | Tier3 implies no support at all. This tier encompasses all other browsers not listed in the current matrix. |
