Policy precedence on the BlackBerry device
IT policy rule settings override application control policy rule settings. For example, if you set the Allow Internal Connections
IT policy rule to False for BlackBerry® devices, and if these devices have an application control policy set that allows a specific
application to make internal connections, the application cannot make internal connections.
The BlackBerry device revokes an application control policy and resets if the permissions of the application it is applied to
become more restrictive. On supported BlackBerry devices, users can make application permissions more, but never less,
restrictive than what the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server administrator sets.
Understanding IT policy rule names and policy group names
You can use IT policy rules to control BlackBerry® devices and BlackBerry® Desktop Software settings in your organization.
IT policy rules appear in the BlackBerry Administration Service in policy groups. Each policy group contains rules that can
control common properties or applications on BlackBerry devices. The names of most IT policy rules indicate how you can
use the rules to change the default behavior of the BlackBerry device and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Setting IT policy rules
You can assign IT policy rules to satisfy your organization's security policy requirements and to reflect the needs of the users
who are assigned to that IT policy. For example, you can create an IT policy, set the IT policy rules for executive-level feature
and security requirements, add executives to a group, and assign the IT policy to the group.
For more information about how to create an IT policy, set an IT policy rule, and assign an IT policy to a user or group, see
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server System Administration Guide.
