    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for improved application rollback or application migration on a user device. A portal application can store state information for multiple applications installed on a user device. The portal application can send the state information to a management server that exerts management control over aspects of the user device. The management server can send a rollback command to the portal application, instructing the portal application to rollback a target application that is already installed on the device. The portal application can cause the application to be uninstalled and can install a new instance of the target application as specified by the rollback command. The example method can further include the portal application providing at least some state information to the new instance of the application. The new instance of the application can use that state information to implement a configuration in the application.

    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing on-demand access to a restricted resource of a user device. An example method can include generating a profile that specifies a restricted resource and one or more conditions for that resource to be de-restricted. The profile can be sent to, and utilized by, an agent application executing on the user device. The agent application can determine that a user is requesting de-restriction of a resource and determine whether all applicable conditions are met. If the conditions are met, the agent application can de-restrict the resource. After the resource is used, the agent application can report details of the use to an administrator or management server.

    Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for application-specific compliance enforcement. An example method can include receiving, at a user device, profiles containing application-specific restrictions. When a first application is opened, a management agent compares the corresponding application-specific restrictions with current device settings. This can be done with a checksum comparison where the checksums are created based on a hash with an application- or profile-specific identifier. If they differ, the management agent stores the current device settings and prompts for, or automatically changes, the device settings to new compliant values before allowing the first application to operate in the foreground of the user device screen. If the first application is closed or minimized, the stored device settings can be restored. The management agent can compare those against application-specific restrictions of the second application before allowing the second application to run in the foreground.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for facilitating enrollment of a client device into more than one management framework. A client device can be enrolled with a management service as a fully managed device. The client device can also be enrolled with the management service as a personal or bring-your-own-device (BYOD), which causes a workspace to be created on the device that is segregated from the rest of the client device. Both enrollments can be managed by a remotely executed management service.
