Summary
Android policies are the core entities of the system: they define the rules that are applied and enforced on managed devices.
You can browse your policies and create new ones from the Policies section of the dashboard. To open an Android policy, click the policy row in the table: the system opens the Policy Editor page.
A policy can be associated with an enrollment token, so it will be automatically applied to devices during the provisioning process. You can also change the policy assigned to a device after provisioning.
Each device can be associated with only one policy at a time.
Many policy options only apply to specific device types (fully managed, dedicated, work profile) and Android versions. Unsupported settings may be ignored by the device, or reported as non-compliant.
Policy Editor layout
The Policy Editor is organized as a set of expandable sections. At the top of the page you can always edit:
- Name (required)
- Id (read-only)
- Description (optional)
The sections below match the Policy Editor panels (for example: App management, Security, Networking, System, Personal usage, Cross-profile policies, and more). Use the chapter pages of this manual to understand each panel in detail.
Save, delete, and associated devices
Use Save policy to apply your changes. The button is disabled when there are no pending edits, or when the license is expired.
If you opened an existing policy (it has an Id), the page shows a Delete policy action and an Associated devices list at the bottom, so you can see how many devices are currently using the policy.
