Restrictions
Introduction
Targeted restriction of device and app features increase security when using Android devices and can optimize device usage by providing more focus. Controlling device settings and restricting access also prevents third-party apps from accessing corporate data and resources. Restriction availability may vary, depending on device manufacturer and existing OS version. Some of the features listed here are designed exclusively for Samsung Knox devices or minimum Android versions.
