# Work Profile Widget

The **Work Profile Widget** feature in Cubilock  allows administrators to manage and control whether applications within the **work profile** are permitted to add widgets to the device's home screen. This policy is specifically applicable to devices that have a **work profile** set up.

#### **Key Features**

* **Work Profile Widget Policy**: This policy controls if a work profile application is allowed to add widgets to the home screen. It ensures that only applications within the managed work profile can add widgets, maintaining control over the user experience.
* **Applicability**: The **Work Profile Widget** setting is **only applicable to work profiles** on Android devices. It does not apply to fully managed profiles or devices without a work profile.
