Activation via Work Profile - BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is similar to the activation of a Fully Managed Device with Work Profile. The difference lies in the configuration process, as it does not require the device to be formatted.
The idea behind BYOD is to activate a second profile, such as a work profile, on a personal device owned by the user, which will be partially used for work purposes.
Important: This device does not need to be restored to its factory settings, but Pulsus cannot be installed on it.
Prerequisites:
Android 5.1+
Follow the step-by-step instructions to perform the configuration:
Access your environment and in the Groups menu, click on the phone icon that appears when hovering the mouse cursor.

1. Fully Managed Device;
2. Fully Managed with a Work Profile;
3. Work Profile (BYOD).
