Cross-profile policies
Only applies to devices with personal and work profiles.
Cross-profile copy/paste
Whether text copied from one profile (personal or work) can be pasted in the other profile.
Disallowed (default): Prevents users from pasting into the personal profile text copied from the work profile. Text copied from the personal profile can be pasted into the work profile.
Allowed: Text copied in either profile can be pasted in the other profile.
Cross-profile data sharing
Whether data from one profile (personal or work) can be shared with apps in the other profile. Specifically controls simple data sharing via intents. Management of other cross-profile communication channels, such as contact search, copy/paste,
or connected work & personal apps, are configured separately.
Disallowed: Prevents data from being shared from both the personal profile to the work profile and the work profile to the personal profile.
Work to Personal disallowed (default): Prevents users from sharing data from the work profile to apps in the personal profile. Personal data can be shared with work apps.
Allowed: Data from either profile can be shared with the other profile.
Work profile widgets default
Default behavior for work profile widgets. If a specific app does not define a widgets policy, it follows the default set here.
Cross-profile app functions
Controls whether personal profile apps can invoke app functions from work profile apps. This requires Android 16 or above.
This setting depends on the policy-level App functions option (in the App management section). If App functions is set to Disallowed, the API will reject Cross-profile app functions set to Allowed.
Work contacts in personal profile
Whether contacts stored in the work profile can be shown in personal profile contact searches and incoming calls.
Allowed (default): Allows work profile contacts to appear in the personal profile.
Disallowed: Prevents personal apps from accessing work profile contacts and looking up work contacts.
Disallowed except system: Prevents most personal apps from accessing work profile contacts, except for the OEM default Dialer, Messages, and Contacts apps (Android 14+).
When Work contacts in personal profile is configured, you can optionally define a list of Exempted package name entries. Depending on the selected mode, these exemptions behave as allowlist or blocklist for personal apps.
