FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a hybrid migration mean Island must remain permanently?

No. Hybrid operation can be a temporary migration stage or an intentional longer-term model.

Which Island users should move first?

Users with straightforward applications, supported extensions, and browser requirements that map cleanly to managed Chrome are usually stronger early candidates.

Can the same identity provider support both environments?

Potentially. The identity architecture should be reviewed during migration planning.

Can Island remain for higher-risk workflows?

Yes. Island can remain for approved workloads where business or security requirements justify it.

How do we avoid confusing users?

Clear browser assignment, application guidance, policy boundaries, training, and support ownership should form part of the rollout.

Can the hybrid environment eventually become a full Island exit?

Yes. Future migration criteria can be defined for each retained application and user group.
