What isolates corporate applications from personal applications on a device?
Enterprises that provide corporate-owned personally enabled devices typically need to separate official work apps from third-party business apps installed by employees, for example, Show
An IT admin might not be comfortable with a third-party app that needs access to contacts, email addresses, or phone numbers. There may be concerns that sensitive work data may end up on third-party servers. The third-party apps are needed for productivity, but are not fully trusted and vetted by the IT admin. In this scenario, the enterprise is wholly responsible for their corporate assets and needs full control of their devices. As described in device management modes, Android 11 replaced the fully managed device with work profile with a new work profile on company-owned devices. The goal is to protect the privacy of personal activities on company devices, and provide IT admins with adequate control over the personal side of the device. For enterprises that still need full control over a device while enabling authorized third-party business apps, Samsung exclusively offers an additional option called Separated Apps. Separated Apps isolates third-party apps in sandboxed folder. The third-party apps cannot intercommunicate with work apps or access confidential work data. Keep in mind that Separated Apps does not provide the same privacy guarantees as the new work profile on company-owned devices. As such, it is not intended for personal apps and data. How it worksSeparated Apps are installed in a securely separate folder: An enterprise IT admin uses:
By default, the following apps are available inside the Separated Apps folder, but don't have launch icons. They can however be launched by other apps. For example, if you open an attached image in an email app, the Gallery displays the image.
The device user can:
Set up Separated Apps
NOTE—Ensure that the KSP package is added in the separation list when specifying the location to be Outside. Otherwise, the App separation activation would fail due to wrong location of the KSP package Once separated, apps are not allowed to exist in both locations at one time, so an app must be either inside or outside the separated apps. The exception is third-party keyboards. Once the policy is set, it is pushed to end user devices. When the device user begins installing apps, the Knox framework separates the apps based on the configured policy. IMPORTANT - Already installed third-party apps in the Outside location are disabled in user0 and re-installed inside Separated Apps if they are not included in the app list. Third-party keyboards and UEM agents are not subject to this. IMPORTANT - The only way to change the location once the policy has been created is to disable and recreate the policy with a different setting. It cannot be changed once activated. For details about Separated Apps and other KSP policies, go to Advanced policies. Third-party keyboardsThird-party keyboards are allowed to exist both outside and inside the Separated Apps folder, so the same keyboard can be used regardless of the location of the app being used. Any keyboard app that is installed is automatically installed in both locations. As such, keyboard apps will be ignored in the app list. Following is the default behavior for third party keyboards:
Access control policiesThe following access control policies are applied to the Separated Apps. These policies cannot be changed.
Backup policyBy default, backup is enabled for Separated Apps. If the device owner disables backup for entire device then backup for Separated Apps will also be disabled. If the device owner then enables backup again then backup for Separated Apps will also be enabled. What creates two completely separate user interfaces on the same device?An extreme example of containerization is dual persona technology, which creates two completely separate user interfaces -- one for work and one for personal use -- on the same device.
