I have a somewhat similar issue, but not because of rooting.
I want to use F-Droid for some of their apps, and be able to just download apk's.
The problem is that my work uses 'Microsoft Intune' for email access and such. Turns out, if I try to install anything from F-Droid, I get a message like 'Your Admin has blocked access'.
As you can imagine, this made my blood boil, but I actually use my work email and Teams (even though its not mandated to have it on your phone). The work around is to delete my work profile, install the apps, and then recreate, but that doesn't account for updates.
Frustrating
So whatever you install on your personal profile is affecting your work profile? Does that Microsoft intune have admin access?
That I don't know. I know pausing the profile doesn't let me, and turning on USB debugging puts me out of compliance but doesn't let me.
If it's possible, you could try talking to your IT department about this. Intune policies are configurable by the team using them so your IT department could allow your device as you want it if so. Hopefully they would understand the freedom to use your hardware as you see fit is worth the tradeoff of loosening their policies.
I think that Microsoft app has admin access to your phone. Otherwise it won't be possible.
Think you are right.
All I see is the disable option.
I might just delete. If someone messages me when I'm at lunch, it can probably wait
If your work wants you to have mobile messaging/email then they should issue you a work device. I never put work stuff on my personal phone or computer. And I don't put personal stuff on a work device. If I pay for a device I have full control of it.
Always seperate work and personal life & devices
