1 Mobile Device Management ios Policies Introduction ios policies allow administrators to use mobile device management features of CentraStage and push them, over the air (OTA), to ios devices (in other words, they don t need to be connected to a specific network to pick up these settings). This document describes what sort of settings you can configure using CentraStage MDM policies, and how to configure a policy and apply it to your ios devices (including ensuring that users can t remove the policy once you ve applied it!). What can be configured? CentraStage Mobile Device Management policies allow you to control your ios devices in the following ways: Passcode policies (e.g. enforcing minimum and maximum passcode lengths, age etc) Restrictions configuration (with more than 50 policy options to choose from more details in the Q&A section below). VPN setup (e.g. where a VPN should connect to, and what credentials to use) Wi-Fi credentials Please note, there can only be one ios policy per device. Groups or filters cannot be used when targeting devices as this could result in multiple policies being pushed to devices - to avoid this, only one policy will be able to be switched on at any one time. Requirements To be able to create and manage MDM policies, your role must include the ability to manage policy permissions. Creating and applying an MDM policy For our example we will create an MDM policy so that our users will be able to automatically get connected to their corporate Wi-Fi network at two different office locations as well as via VPN. Additionally, we will disable FaceTime and the use of Camera. 1. Add a new profile policy. 2. Name it and choose Mobile Device Management as the type then click next.

A To avoid confusion over which policy takes precedence for a device, its only possible to apply 1 policy. Turning on an MDM policy for an account automatically turns off any others that are enabled we wanted to make sure that only ever happens as part of a conscious decision on your part, rather than (for example) creating a new policy just to view some of the settings. As a result, MDM policies must be explicitly turned on once created. Q Can I manage Android devices using Centrastage MDM? A For this release of MDM policies, it is not possible to apply restrictions or settings to Android devices. This is, however, planned for a future release.
