App lock device policy

The App lock device policy defines a list of apps that are allowed to run on a device, or a list of apps that are blocked from running on a device. You can configure this policy for both iOS and Android devices, but the exact way the policy works differs for each platform. For example, you cannot block multiple apps on an iOS device.

同样,对于iOS设备,您可以选择只有一个iOS app per policy. This means that users are only able to use their device to run a single app. They cannot do any other activities on the device except for the options you specifically allow when the app lock policy is enforced.

Although the device policy works on most Android L and M devices, app lock does not function on Android N or later devices because Google deprecated the required API.

To add or configure this policy, go toConfigure > Device Policies. For more information, seeDevice policies.
