PROSOFT, spol. s r.o.

Is it possible to setup the Samsung device with Android 8+ OS as Fully managed devices with work profile (COPE) without use of Samsung Knox container? The Google docs writes that should be available on Android 8+ devices.

Is it possible to setup it on any Android 8+ device in SOTI? I can't find any information about it in documentation.

Thanks for any information.

As far as I know, your required use case is not currently supported.   For now, only one container (usually the work-profile in BYOD use case) can exist on any device using MobiControl AE device agent.

Hi Peter,

Yes you can enroll almost any Android 6+ as AE. You need to factory reset the device.

You have this pretty informative video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s53fKJ8zd_0

Hi Samuel,

thank you for very well-explaining video about enrolling Android 5+ as Android enterprise (Fully managed device). I have tried it and this will create work profile and it's fully managed by admin.  

But what I need is to separate personal and work profile on the device. This should work from Android 8+ (and Samsung KNOX supports it too). Is it already supported on SOTI?

From Google docs:

Fully managed devices with work profiles are for company-owned devices that are used for both work and personal purposes

Hello,

Have you resolve this problem ?

I'm interesting about feature "fully managed with work profil".

I have already  some fully managed device and work profil device.

In google documentation, i can see it is possible but on SOTI i don't do this.

If anyone use it, please help me


Thanks,

 I work primarily with the COSU use case so I could be wrong about this but I don't believe SOTI supports true AE COPE just yet.

Thank you guys for replies.

I ended my research with the same result as you. Just want to confirm my theorem. 

For future readers: Currently SOTI does't support Fully managed devices with work profile (COPE).

Such a shame it will be nice to have functionality for many use-cases.
