Wiping data selectively
Wrapped apps can delete their own data on an iOS device from a command issued by the administrator from the IBM® MaaS360® Portal.
About this task
Selective wipe is an event from the IBM
MaaS360 Portal to
instruct the wrapped app to uninstall itself. All data that is stored
in the app is deleted with the app. The following issues automatically
trigger a selective wipe:
- The IBM MaaS360 Portal or the MaaS360 app detects a failure with compliance.
- The Timebomb feature, which is an app inactivity trigger after an elapsed time period, is enabled in a Persona policy.
- The user exceeds the maximum number of attempts that are allowed to authenticate.
Warning: The data is not recoverable
even if you install the app again.
The MaaS360 administrator can manually trigger a selective wipe.
Procedure
To trigger a selective wipe manually, follow the procedure in Device details view.
