About activation types

Depending on your organization’s policies, your administrator will choose an activation type for your device. Some activation types allow only a work profile on the device, while some include a work and a personal profile. Depending on the activation type, your administrator can manage only the work profile or manage the work and personal profiles. If your administrator wants to manage the work profile only, your personal profile is kept private. For example, if you have a personal device that you use for work, it will have a work and personal profile. Your administrator can delete data in the work profile if necessary, but not in your personal profile. But if you have a work device that your organization owns, your administrator can delete all data (in the work profile and even in the personal profile) on the device.
