Settings Manager

Stagenow - 2.6

Overview

The Settings Manager (SettingsMgr) controls access to specific device capabilities in the Android System Settings panel. This allows administrators to prevent device users from changing settings that are sensitive in nature or could lead to undesired results. See AccessMgr for other Settings panel feature restrictions. Use AppMgr to prevent access to the Settings panel altogether.

Main Functionality

Enable and Disable the ability to:
- Perform an Enterprise Reset on the device
- Change the Wi-Fi configuration
- Install apps from unknown sources (i.e. other than the Google Play)
- Turn Airplane Mode On or Off
- Access the "Apps" section, where installed and running applications can be affected

Enterprise Reset Access

This parm allows you to specify whether or not the device user will be allowed invoke the "Enterprise data reset" function, usually found in the "Backup & reset" section of the System Settings Menu. Since this function could lead to data loss or could render a device less functional, it may be advisable to prevent device users from invoking it.

Note: Just because access to a Storage Card is not blocked, the Storage Card may or may not be accessible. For example, if the Storage Card is implemented by physically removable media and there is no media in the slot, then the Storage Card would not be accessible even though access to the Storage Card was enabled. Or, if the Storage Card was encrypted, and the Named Key was removed from the Key Storage Database (see the EncryptMgr), the Storage Card would not be accessible even though it was present and not blocked.

Wi-Fi Access

This parm allows you to specify whether or not the device user will be allowed to change any Wi-Fi configuration from the "Wi-Fi" section of the System Settings Menu and the Quick Settings.

Note: While the title of this parm might make it seem that it only controls whether the device user is allowed to Turn Wi-Fi On or Off, it actually controls whether any changes to Wi-Fi configuration can be made. There is no way to control the ability to Turn Wi-Fi On and Off independently of other Wi-Fi configuration.
