Returning to the default behavior of BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry Desktop Software
To restore the default behavior of a feature on BlackBerry® devices or in the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, you can change the
IT policy rule value to Default, if that option is available, or delete the value that you previously specified.
If you assign users to a new IT policy, you can delete the IT policy to return those users to the Default IT policy. The Default IT
policy provides the default behavior for all of the features on the BlackBerry devices and in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server reassigns the users to the Default IT policy automatically and resends the Default IT policy to
the BlackBerry devices.

Creating new IT policy rules to control third-party applications
You can create new IT policy rules to control the applications that your organization creates for BlackBerry® devices that are
running in your organization's environment. After you create an IT policy rule, you can add it to a new or existing IT policy and
assign a value to it. Only applications that your organization creates can use the IT policy rule that you create. You cannot create
new IT policy rules to control BlackBerry device applications and features.
