If EMM is disabled, you cannot use the following features.

Android profile types

The following four profile types are available for Android devices. (Note: Some profile types may not be available depending on the device.) Check the features you want to use, and then select the profile type.

Profile typeDetails
Work Profile

A setting that divides the device into a personal area (User Profile) and a work area (Work Profile). Work-related data and apps are placed under the control of the company administrator, while apps and data of other personal accounts are managed by the user.

To apply a work profile to a device, you must first set the device up as a work profile and then enroll it. For details on the settings that take effect, see the (Android) Profile Setting Types and Details page.


Device Owner

A setting that treats the entire device as being for business use and places the device under company supervision. Enabling this setting allows you to manage the device more extensively.

To apply a device owner profile to a device, you must first set the device up as a device owner and then enroll it. For details on the settings that take effect, see the (Android) Profile Setting Types and Details page.
