Work Profile or Profile Owner (PO) mode

Set up a work profile on personal devices (BYOD) to store work apps and data in a separate container.

Work profile

The Profile Owner (PO) deployment method is recommended for personally-owned devices (BYOD) that are also used for work. After a device is enrolled, a separate work profile is created on the device for corporate apps and data. IBM® MaaS360® has complete management control over the work profile, but does not have visibility and control over personal apps, data, and activities.
