+## Running in work profiles
+
+Work profiles allows users to isolate apps. They also allow running multiple VPN at the same time, as each work profile can run a VPNService.
+
+When PCAPdroid runs in a work profile in VPN mode, it can only capture the traffic of the work profile.
+
+## Root support
+
+When running with root, PCAPdroid still captures the traffic of the whole device, regardless if it's installed in the main profile or in the work profile.
+To properly map UIDs of apps installed into different profiles, it uses the [INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/admin/multiuser-apps),
+which is granted on the first root capture start. Apps installed in both the main profile and a work profile will have two different UIDs, and are reported
+by PCAPdroid as two different apps.
+
+In order to properly grant root privileges to PCAPdroid when installed in a work profile, follow these steps:
+
+1. In the Magisk maanger settings, set Multiuser-mode to "User independent"
+2. Clone the Magisk manager app to the work profile
+3. Start the root capture and grant the root request from magisk dialog
