Protection

There are three types of protection configurations. Your administrator determines the type you are using.

• Administrator-managed—Your administrator is controlling which files are and are not protected on your device. If you are configured for this type of protection, you will not see a Protect tab. You will only see a Home and Restore tab. The related protection topics are not relevant to this configuration.
• Self-managed—You control which files are and are not protected on your device. If you are configured for this type of protection, you will see the Home, Protect, and Restore tabs. The Protect tab is where you will configure your protection. See Configure self-managed protection for details.
• Hybrid—Your administrator configures default files to protect or not protect on your device, and you have the option to include or exclude additional files if desired. You should initially see an alert on the Home page letting you know that you can add additional files if you want to. Once the alert is dismissed, you will not see it again. If you are configured for this type of protection, you will also see the Protect and Restore tabs. The Protect tab is where you can include or exclude additional files. See Configure hybrid protection for details.

Regardless of your protection configuration, there are default protection settings configured by your administrator. You may or may not be able to override the defaults, depending on the access your administrator has granted. If you are able and so desire, you can modify these settings. See Configure the protection settings for details.
