Work profile policy type 

 

1. Previously "Managed or Work profile" is now divided into Work profile and Fully managed device. It allows cross-profile limitations for all work profile devices and personal usage profiles for company-owned work profile devices. 
   
   
   
   
2. Updates are also made to parts of wizard flow with Work profile-specific settings, allowing different set ups between work profile and personal profile for application settings and other details.

Default permission policy

 

The default permission policy is used for all apps unless permission is separately defined on the app level. For kiosk mode, the default permission is always "Grant a permission" automatically.

If default permission policy chosen is being changed, it will affect all chosen applications. 
HMD Enable Pro companion app permission policy is always 'Grant a permission'" 

Note: before applying the changes, the system requests a confirmation to update default permission policy for all applications.
