Policies and commands

- [Instructor] There are two methods that a mobile device management system will use to interact with a registered Android device through the installed device policy controller. These methods are policies and commands. A policy, our primary topic in this course, is a collection of settings defining the state in which a managed device should operate. An important thing to remember is that a managed device can only be assigned a single policy at a time. These policies can be designed to disable certain hardware components, restrict a user's access to the system, define the applications that should be installed, and configure network settings. Commands, as I am sure you can guess, are actions issued to a device by a device management system and carried out by the device policy controller. When utilizing the Android management API, the only supported commands are locking the device, rebooting the device, and resetting the password. You can check out the reference guide for that API here…
