Feature Control

About this task

Use the Feature Control profile configuration to disable device features such as the camera, microphone, USB access, and many more.

Tip: Consider using feature control in combination with a Lockdown profile configuration to further restrict a device.
Important: The available restrictions for this configuration vary across platforms. For details, review the list of available feature control payloads by platform.
To configure a Feature Control profile configuration, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Create a new profile. On the Profiles view, select New Profile and choose the device platform you want to apply feature controls to.
  2. Select Feature Control to open the Feature Control profile configuration.
  3. Disable the features that you want to prevent device users from accessing.
    The device user can access most features by default so you must manually disable (block) them as required. Additionally, some feature controls offer a set of choices that you must select from a dropdown list.
    Tip: Hover over each feature control to see a brief description of its purpose. You can also select the Help icon to see more information.
