An Android Work Challenge configuration defines secure passwords for users to access the Work Profile data and apps. Requires Android Enterprise Work Profile.

Implementation notes:

  • Administrators can apply a device password policy and a work profile password policy independently.

    • Ivanti Neurons for MDM does not send this configuration to clients earlier than Android 7.0 because such devices do not support this feature.

  • Ivanti Neurons for MDM only sends this configuration to devices with an Android Enterprise Work Profile.
