Play Store Management

Introduction

With the policy configuration Play Store Management, Relution offers the possibility to control the operation of Android devices with Android Enterprise enrollment by reducing the available content in the Google Play Store to the content of the Manage Apps configuration. It is also possible to configure app updates.

  • When the user opens the Google Play Store on the device, no apps or only the apps from the Manage apps configuration are visible. Depending on the specified installation type from the Manage apps list, the user can install the released apps.
