The Android EMM solution set is intended for school-owned devices. Managed features give IT admins control over an extended range of device settings and additional policy controls.
To view and configure these controls, follow the instructions below:
1. Log in to your school dashboard
2. Navigate to the Profile Section on the Main menu
3. Select your desired profile (if you have set up a conditional profile or use the baseline) by clicking the edit icon on the right of the profile details.
4. Select the What tab and click on Restrictions.
5. Select the ANDROID tab and it should display all Android Legacy and Android EMM settings
Please Note: The LEGACY SETTINGS apply to all Android devices while the EMM SETTINGS apply to only EMM enrolled devices. You can activate any of the restrictions and click on the SAVE button at the bottom of the screen. The settings will be applied when you next perform device sync.
