Best Practices

It is recommended that the details of each IOS High-level restrictions be checked before ticking, as the sub-options may block a setting that is required or needed for a device. For Example when ticking “Blocking application installation and removal”, this will also delay the user’s visibility of Software Updates.

It is also important to check if the sub-options will apply to the device as some sub-options will require the device to be supervised or on a particular version of IOS and up. If the device is not required IOS for Example IOS 7.0, the particular sub-option will not work on the device.

“Lockdown Security”, is a Restriction we recommend you double-check all Sub-options For example if the example there an option that will block the device from connecting to any wireless network it was not defined before.
