Application Configurations

Updated 2 months ago by Kavita

Applications those are authorized by Google Play Store and allowed to access by admin can create the configuration and push them. The applications which have built-in settings for configuration can help the admin to configure remotely. The access can be blocked for certain websites, physical locations of a user can be tracked by admin, cookies setting, popups setting, auto-fill, printing, and incognito mode window is configured at a basic level.

There are NETWORK, SECURITY, SEARCH, URL FILTERING, and MOBILOCK SETTINGS available while creating a configuration. There are applications which need credentials while configuring. The configurations can be applied to all a user devices or to a specific device.
