Activation type
Description
Work space only
(
Android Enterprise
fully managed device)
This activation type lets you manage the entire device using commands and IT policy rules. This activation type requires the user to reset the device to factory settings before activating. The activation process installs a work profile and no personal profile. The user must create a password to access the device. All data on the device is protected using encryption and a method of authentication such as a password.
During activation, the device installs the
BlackBerry UEM Client
automatically and grants it Administrator permissions. Users cannot revoke the Administrator permissions or uninstall the app.
Following activation,
Work space only
devices have only a limited set of the standard pre-installed apps, such as Camera, Phone, and Settings, plus any apps you have assigned with a required disposition. The list of retained pre-installed apps depends on the device vendor and OS version. 
This activation type requires the device to be reset to factory default settings before activating. If the
BlackBerry UEM Client
is deleted or the work profile is removed from the device, it is automatically reset to factory default settings.
Work and personal - user privacy
(
Android Enterprise
with work profile)
This activation type maintains privacy for personal data but lets you manage work data using commands and IT policy rules. This activation type creates a work profile on the device that separates work and personal data. Work and personal data are both protected using encryption and password authentication.
Users do not have to grant Administrator permissions to the
BlackBerry UEM Client
.
