Workspace is a containerized application on the user’s mobile device that gives them access to the corporate applications, email, access files and services they need to do their job. A Workspace separates work apps and data from personal apps and data. Your organization manages your work apps and data while your personal apps, data, and usage remain private.
To make Seqrite Workspace available on your users’ mobile devices, you (admin) need to setup the Workspace agent on the users mobile devices.
The user cannot copy the data from work profile to personal profile and from personal profile to work profile as per the policy set in Workspace Profile Restrictions. See Workspace Restrictions
Prerequisite: You need to activate the Workspace feature on the mSuite console by navigating to Workspace before you can start using Workspace.
The agent can be installed on the user mobile devices in two ways:
