I like the potential opportunities that could come with the private space. 😀
Despite COPE, we keep seeing cases where company data and personal data are getting mixed up. We are only allowed to release apps in the Work Profile that have been approved by our IT security and data protection department. Sometimes these processes take too long for users, are not worthwhile due to a very small number of users or are even rejected by security due to security concerns (e.g. potential data leakage). If there is still a need among users, such apps are simply installed and used in the personal profile.
Processing work data in a personal context is forbidden organizationally, but is still done by some users out of necessity.
As a first step, users could use such apps with the private space and separate their personal data from work-related data. Although the private space is not necessarily intended for this purpose, it would certainly help to separate personal data even better.
An “additional space” that can be managed with UEM in Work Managed and Work Profile would be awesome. We would assign apps there that should not interact with the rest of the apps and data in the work context.
If something like this were to be realized for Android Enterprise, I see a big obstacle in a transparent display of the available apps in Managed Google Play.
