An admin must be able to carry out IT actions on Android for Work devices, which includes the ability use the admin console to trigger actions Lock, Wipe Work data (full device for Corporate only), reset the workbench password, disable the workbench temporarily if supported via API. The commands are scoped according to the administrator privileges.
The commands are delivered as soon as possible to managed devices and the administrator has visibility into successful/failed execution of the commands.
Use Case:
An enterprise wants to enable their device users to use Android for Work on Android-L AfW certified devices and use BES as their EMM service. Admins need to be able to selectively wipe work data or lock the workbench on the device.
Business Justification:
Android for Work is expected to be the unified approach to EMM on Android devices. BlackBerry needs to support AfW to remain relevant as an EMM vendor for Android.
