Configuring restrictions

This section provides instructions on how to configure user access to the features of mobile devices.

Configuring restrictions for personal Android devices

These settings apply to personal devices and devices with a corporate container.

To keep an Android device secure, Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management lets you configure user access to the following features of mobile devices:

• Wi-Fi
• Camera
• Bluetooth

By default, the user can use Wi-Fi, camera, and Bluetooth on the device without restrictions.

To configure the Wi-Fi, camera, and Bluetooth usage restrictions on the device:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
3. Select Android and go to the Restrictions section.
4. On the Device feature restrictions card, click Settings.

   The Device feature restrictions window opens.

5. Enable the settings using the Device feature restrictions toggle switch.
6. Configure usage of Wi-Fi, camera, and Bluetooth:
   • To disable the Wi-Fi module on the user's mobile device, select the Prohibit use of Wi-Fi check box.

     On personal devices and devices with a corporate container running Android 10 or later, prohibiting the use of Wi-Fi networks is not supported.

   • To disable the camera on the user's mobile device, select the Prohibit use of camera check box.

     When camera usage is prohibited, the app displays a notification upon opening and then closes shortly after. On Asus and OnePlus devices, the notification is shown in full screen. The device user can tap the Close button to exit the app.

     On devices running Android 11 or later, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android must be set as an Accessibility feature. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android prompts the user to set the app as an Accessibility feature through the Initial Configuration Wizard. The user can skip this step or later disable this service in the device settings. If this is the case, you will not be able to restrict use of the camera.

   • To disable Bluetooth on the user's mobile device, select the Prohibit use of Bluetooth check box.

     On Android 12 or later, the use of Bluetooth can be disabled only if the device user granted the Nearby devices permission. The user can grant this permission during the Initial Configuration Wizard or later.

     On personal devices running Android 13 or later, the use of Bluetooth cannot be disabled.

7. Click OK.
8. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

Mobile device settings are changed after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.

You can also restrict additional operating system features on corporate devices.
