7.2 Editing Mobile Device Control Policy Settings

Based on the security level selected while creating the Mobile Device Control Policy, the settings that are predefined by ZENworks can be viewed or edited by performing the steps elaborated in this section. The Mobile Device Control policy settings can be configured for iOS, Android, and ActiveSync devices. However, these settings vary based on the platform. Also, you can configure these settings for a personal or a corporate owned device.

7.2.1 Procedure

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, navigate to the Policies section.

  2. Click the Mobile Device Control policy for which the content needs to be configured.

  3. Click the Details tab and edit the settings.

    Corporate/Personal: The settings in the Corporate column are applied to devices whose ownership is defined as Corporate. The settings in the Personal column are applied to devices whose ownership is defined as Personal. The settings use the following values:

    • Yes: Enables the setting.

    • No: Disables the setting.

    • Inherit: Inherits the setting value from other Mobile Device Control policies assigned higher in the policy hierarchy. For example, if you assign this policy to a device, the setting value is inherited from any Mobile Device Control policy assigned to groups and folders of which the device is a member. If there is no value to inherit, then ZENworks does not set the restriction.

    • Not Set (--): Indicates that a value is not set by ZENworks.

    • Supervised Only: Indicates that a setting is applicable for iOS Supervised devices only. Supervised mode gives you additional control over the device.

    NOTE:The settings that are applicable for supervised devices only, are subject to change.

  4. Click Apply.

  5. Click Publish to display the Publish Option page. In this page you can publish the modified policy as a new version of the same policy or as a new policy.
