Office Add-ins
There is no central restriction in place to prevent access the Microsoft store when using the downloaded O365 Office Applications.
The risk of Microsoft add-ins is generally low but in some cases their use may have implications for both information security and privacy. Of particular concern are add-ins that have been produced by untrusted suppliers and those linked to a cloud service. It is your responsibility to understand the nature of the add in, seek further guidance if needed and ensure that your head of department or equivalent has approved the use of the add-in, if used with confidential data.
There may be local restrictions in place that would prevent you from accessing the Microsoft store or from installing the Office 365 applications on your machine. In these scenarios you should contact your local IT Support Staff for advice.
