Discussion: Should dual MAM management be a thing in the future?
Hi everyone, I wanted to put something out there for consideration that may be a scenario that we'll start to encounter more and more. I was asked by a customer to test a scenario where someone ...
It would be really awesome, but I understand it is quite a challenge...
Hi all, so for anybody following this - I actually worked out how to do this. Please note that none of what I say is an "official" way of doing it (which is to say it probably is not a supported method) - BUT...
On a Samsung phone, you can create a "Secure Folder". On Huawei it is called "Private Spaces". I am not sure this capability exists on other Android phones (LG, Google Pixel, Sony etc).
On my Samsung - once I manually created a Secure Folder (basically - I setup a "work profile"), I was able to add another instance of Outlook inside there. In that instance, I was able to sign in with another identity that also had MAM policies applied. Thus, allowing me to have 2 instances of Outlook on the same phone, connected to different tenancies with different MAM policies.
The Outlook instance inside the Secure Folder and the one outside the Secure Folder don't know about each other, and don't interfere with one another.
So for now - this is a work around if you find yourself in a situation where you need live with MAM policies from differing organisations.
