Configure Android Enterprise Work Profile for Surface Duo

• Applies to:

  Surface Duo

Targeted at BYOD deployments, work profiles provide a separate space on Duo for work apps and data, giving organizations full control of their data, apps, and security policies without preventing employees from using their device for personal apps and data.

Set up Android Enterprise Work Profile

Use work profiles to manage corporate data and apps on user-owned Android devices. By default, enrollment of personally owned work profile devices is enabled and requires no further admin configuration.

To enable Enterprise Work Profile:

• In Endpoint Manager, select Devices > Android > Android enrollment and then select Personal devices with work profile.

1. Install the Company Portal app from Google Play Store and sign in with your Microsoft work or school account.
   
   

2. On the Access Setup page, select Begin.
   
   

3. Review the information on the privacy page and select Continue.
