Can SOTI allow for an app to create a work profile?

I am trying to see if we can use SOTI for some of our android tablet and have them use intune company portal app to access our comnpany apps?   The app requires the creation of a managed work profile, and when i tried it says it is not able to set up a work profile.  I see that there is work profile that SOTI creates on the device, is that why and is there a way around that?

Not possible. 

If you want to use apps that require MS account, you can connect your Mobicontrol to your MS tenant, and register your devices. Also connect Mobicontrol as 3rd party device compliance partner, in your intune instance. The devices will appear on your Entra, as managed via intune (MS bug). You will not be able to see them in intune. 

You can create the same apps that you have in intune, in your Mobicontrol app policies.

If you use app protection policies, you can create a dedicated app protection policy for SOTI devices, and assign it for a group of users who will use these devices.

Ensure you enroll the device the right way:

  • work profile if you want BYOD
  • corporate personal if you want COPE

In there, you define the used managed Google account (if wanted) and via that you can just via app policy assign apps from playstore including the company portal.

But for SSO and so on, you can of course in addition connect Soti to Intune (https://pulse.soti.net/support/soti-mobicontrol/help/?V=2026.0&T=console/system/microsoft_365_integration/add_mc_to_microsoft_intune_and_compliance_partner_configuration).

What Julia wanted is not possible.

The device is already enrolled in Mobicontrol. When you try to sign-in in Company portal on Android, it tries to enroll the device in intune, which fails since the device is already managed by another mdm. 

@Julia , have a look over MAM Without Enrollment from Microsoft, and the link that Rafael mentioned
