Deactivating a device
When you deactivate a BlackBerry device, the connection between the device and the user account in the BlackBerry Device Service is removed. You cannot manage the device and the device is not displayed in the BlackBerry Administration Service console.
To protect your organization’s data on work space only devices, you can remotely wipe a device if, for example, a user no longer works at your organization. Because these devices only have a work space, you can use either the Delete all device data and remove device, or Delete only the organization data and remove device options in theBlackBerry Administration Service to wipe these devices.
