Personal Device Security
All home devices which use a Herne Bay High School account are subject to basic security requirements, and internal alerts are generated if these requirements are not met / security may have been compromised. To reassure you, we do not have any visibility over user activity or management over your home computers - we only receive basic information regarding security concerns.
When you need to sign-in to an app for school using Microsoft Windows (such as Teams), you may see the dialogue box below. Allowing the default option here means that your home computer will try to use your school login every time a login is required, even if you are signing-in to a non-school service. This can be inconvenient on a shared computer.
To ensure this doesn't happen please untick the option ‘Allow my organisation to manage my device’, and click ‘No, sign into this app only’.
If you feel this option may already be in effect on your home computer, you can follow these steps to check the status, and break the association if necessary:
1) Open Windows Settings
2) From the left-hand menu, select ‘Accounts’
3) Then, choose ‘Access Work or School’:
4) If you can then see an entry referencing Herne Bay High School as below, please select the option to ‘disconnect’ the account:
