| <p>Devices running Android 5.0 and later with the managed_users feature |
| declared can be used in a <a href="http://www.android.com/work/">corporate |
| environment</a> under the auspices of each company’s information technology (IT) |
| department. This is possible with the introduction of <a href="multi-user.html">multiple |
| users</a>, <a href="managed-profiles.html">managed profiles</a>, and enterprise |
| mobility management (EMM) applications, as well as enhancements to default |
| <a |

| <a |
| href="/security/verifiedboot/index.html">verified |
| boot</a>, and <a |
| href="/security/selinux/index.html">SELinux</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>With these enhancements, either users or their IT departments may create |
| managed profiles that separate corporate employer data from personal user |
| information. Follow the documents within this section of the site to properly |
| implement corporate device administration.</p> |
