If it was added with option (1), the GSuite owner can wipe your entire phone. With (2), I believe only the work profile can be wiped.
If it was an iPhone, I'm not sure the controls for managed devices (I don't think it has a work profile type isolation).
- geofft 7y agoYup, there's no such thing as work profiles on iOS, and iOS MDM does have the technical facility to let an MDM owner wipe the device. (Obviously the user has to consent to it, but there's a lot of social pressure to say yes / to trust that your employer won't abuse this ability.) Also I think that there are Android models that don't support a separate work profile.
