I was trying to share a photo to someone and clicked switch to work because was just curious what pops up.
Alao was using my one drive app to upload. I clicked on work and got the same thing. Somce its a microsfot app, i don't know if its a microsoft problem or samsung.
Does anyone know what admin its talking about?

@mrvlfan It looks like you added a work account to your device and the admin of that work account has some strict rules. 

One solution is to remove the work account from your device.

@mrvlfan First make sure that the account is completely removed. 

Go to phone settings -> Accounts and backup -> Manage accounts and see if the account is listed. If it is, click on it and select Remove. 

Then go to phone settings -> Security and privacy -> More security settings -> Device admin apps. Disable (and/or remove) any apps which you don't think should be on that list.

Just FYI whenever you leave a job that you allow to put an administrator on your phone, you should contact the IT dept to have them properly delete it. Or, better yet, if you get a job that makes you have an admin account on it, get them to supply a work phone, or purchase a cheap phone for work. I'm not giving control of my phone to anyone.

Unless its a work device.... If it's a work device, your IT team has firewalls that prevent you from going to certain site, files, photos ... etc...

Ok thanks. I went to manage accounts . i didn't even know a work account was there. I removed it.
Im in device admin apps. I don't see any that shouldn't be there.
There isn't an option remove any. When i click on one it just had Cancel, uninstall or activate. Im not sure what that section is for.
Does that mean these admin apps can take control of your phone?

Its strange. I removed the work account in my ohone settings. When i go to my onedrive app to upload a photo a work option still shows up even though i don't have a work account.
Will probably find a Microsoft forum to ask
