Introduction
With this profile, you can allow or disallow a number of settings or features on an Android device. Some setting are relevant only for Android 10 or higher.
Allowing or disallowing a setting means the user of the device can turn on/off a feature. Disallowing it means the feature cannot be changed by the user.
Example: Allowing Install from Unknown Sources
In Android you need permission to install from unknown sources. You want to download and install and app manually but get an error that it is not permitted. When you check “Special app access”->”Install unknown apps”, it has been disabled.
