So
@Gona Deepak - what this means is that if you find something in the Admin Console that doesn't work in Edge, and raise a ticket with support, they are going to test and see if it works in a "supported" browser. (Or more likely, ask you to use a supported browser). If the functionality works in that browser they are going to close the ticket and say you were working on an unsupported stack.
I don't think IBM has done deep testing on this, so they aren't hiding data from you. I believe they don't currently know what will / will not work in Edge, they just know that one of the technologies in the stack is listed as not supported, so something could break because that dependency fails. Working on an unsupported stack simply means there is more onus on the end user to test any problems on the supported stack before reporting them, otherwise the issue may be attributed to the stack and ignored.
For what it is worth, some of the underlying screens in the Admin console were written prior to the Lombardi acquisition in 2009 and from a UI perspective look largely untouched since that date. They've worked for a long time on a bunch of different browsers. The biggest risk would be that something that was considered fine to do in 2008 is now considered a security risk and the browsers won't let you do it anymore. Given the simple nature of most of these screens, that seems unlikely.

Gona,
The only reason is that GWT claims no support for Edge whatever the version: http://www.gwtproject.org/release-notes.html#Release_Notes_2_8_0
So we cannot claim supporting Edge for Process Admin even if it may work.

Thank You Bruno for the inputs.
I was checking the consoles and found that I am able to login to Process Admin and was successfully performed adding of users, manipulate the instances in Process Inspector and also able to manipulate the Applications in Installed Apps tab.
Is there any particular functionality or configuration - that cannot be accomplished using the Edge.

Hi,
Workflow Center supports Edge 44 since 19.0.0.1.
Process Admin doesn't support Edge at all because it uses GWT versions non supported on Edge.
All the other consoles support Edge 44.

I was going through one of the links - "https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/prereqTabViewDetails?osPlatform=spcrAllValues&dsrType=tsr&deliverableId=161906909D8911E9A83D99924272C08A&productName=IBM+Business+Automation+Workflow+19.0.0.3&prereqId=590A4F00E69A11E8AD896A32A8231248&prereqName=Microsoft+Edge+44&capName=Web+Browsers&isDUOnly=false&isMandatory=false&osPlatforms=spcrAllValues&duComponentIds=S002%7CS001%7CS003"
Found a weird line - "Microsoft Edge Browser is not supported in Process Center and Process Admin Console."
Can anyone please confirm the compatibility of Process Center, Workflow Center, Web Process Designer ,Process Admin, Heritage Portal and Process Portal on Microsoft Edge Browser v44.
