    Policies pushed to windows 10 devices are pushed on device based and not on user based. On personal devices we face challenges as controls are applied on the local profiles also. is there a way we can push the policies only on work profile and allow full access on personal profiles

    There does not seem to be a work profile option in iOS. I only see this option for Android. Is there a work profile option and if so where?
