New policy implementation and web enrollment for Android personally owned work profile
The Blog says under the How to Prepare: 4. Review enrollment restrictions: "If you currently have the “Personally owned” setting set to Block for personal work profile devices, you should plan an alternate way for blocking these devices. Options include using a corporate management method instead (such as corporate owned work profile) or configuring the personal work profile enrollment restriction to block enrollments for all users except for users in a specified group."
Basically it says that the Personally Owned block will no longer work, and then it gives two options: Either use the Cope profile (which obviously doesn’t prevent Personally Owned enrollment), or create the same Personally Owned block rule that they just said in the text won’t work going forward?
Could you explain this better?
Hi T_Kuisma, the setting that will be removed is the Allow/Block toggle under the “Personally owned” heading for “Android Enterprise (work profile)” devices (which only applies to personally owned work profile devices, not to any corporate devices). You will still be able to block all personal work profile enrollments using the Allow/Block toggle under the “Platform” heading for “Android Enterprise (work profile)” devices. We have updated the blog with a screenshot of the setting that will be removed to help clarify. Thanks for the feedback!
