Enable Separation of Work Content IT policy rule

Description

This rule specifies whether a BlackBerry® device distinguishes between work data and personal data, and whether only authorized applications on the device can access work data. If you set this rule to Yes and a BlackBerry device user tries to delete a desktop service book, the device prompts the user to delete the work data on the device.

Example

Your organization manages confidential information that cannot be shared with outside sources. All BlackBerry device users in your organization have a custom application on their devices that they use to track and share customer information. You can use this rule and the "Is access to the corporate data API allowed" application control policy rule to give the custom application access to work content and to prevent all other third-party applications on the device from accessing work content such as email messages, contact information, and calendar information.

The "Is access to the corporate data API allowed" application control policy rule specifies whether a third-party application or an add-on application is authorized to access work data. To make this rule affect third-party applications, you must set the "Is access to the corporate data API allowed" application control policy to Disallowed for the third-party application.

Work Domains IT policy rule

Description

This rule specifies a list of resources (for example, domain names, server names, and email-address domains) that a BlackBerry® device identifies as work resources. If you specify a resource in this rule, the device identifies the resource as a work resource. If you list a domain, all of the subdomains of the domain are included automatically. If you list multiple resources, separate the resources with a comma (,), semicolon (;), or space. For example, if your organization has multiple domains, type example.com, example.net, example.org.
