## Management Modes
|
|
|
|
### Work Profile (BYOD)
|
|
- Separates work and personal data on the same device
|
|
- Company can manage only the work profile
|
|
- Personal apps and data remain private
|
|
- Work profile can be wiped without affecting personal data
|
|
|
|
### Fully Managed (Company-Owned)
|
|
- Full control over the entire device
|
|
- All apps and data managed by the organization
|
|
- Ideal for dedicated work devices, kiosks, or shared equipment
|
