Using IT policy rules to manage security

You can use IT policy rules to customize and control the actions that users can perform.

To use an IT policy rule on a BlackBerry device, you must verify that the BlackBerry Device Software version supports the IT policy rule. For example, you cannot use the Enable Separation of Work Content IT policy rule to control whether a device distinguishes between work data and personal data if the BlackBerry Device Software version does not support the IT policy rule. For information about the BlackBerry Device Software version that is required for a specific IT policy rule, see the BlackBerry Business Cloud Services Policy Reference Guide.

The BlackBerry Administration Service groups the IT policy rules by common properties or by application. Most IT policy rules are designed so that you can assign them to multiple user accounts and groups.
