Post Enrollment
Once iOS devices are enrolled as BYOD, notice there will be separate containers for work and personal data.
- In Settings two profiles created, one is personal and second is the work profile with the name Scalefusion.
- In Files, there will be two iCloud Drives. The one for work has Scalefusion written underneath.
- Similarly, two system apps will be visible (one for work and one for personal use) on the device.
Known Behavior
- Allowing Managed Apple ID on a device may not be completely secure as users can use this ID on any device and access the data from managed iCloud.
