The Application Restrictions payload enables administrators to control which applications can run on managed company devices. By configuring an Allowed list or a Blocklist, you can either enforce a strict set of approved applications or restrict specific unauthorised applications across iOS, Android, and Chrome operating systems.
| Option | Function | System Behavior |
| Allowed List | Permits only specified applications. | All applications added to the list are allowed. All other applications on the device are subsequently blocked. |
| Blocklist | Restricts specified applications. | All applications added to the list are blocked. All other applications on the device are subsequently allowed. |
Ensure the applications you select are added to your central applications list before configuring this profile.
