Configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to display BlackBerry Device Software pages

By default, the BlackBerry Administration Service does not display the BlackBerry Device Software pages that permit you to distribute BlackBerry Device Software to BlackBerry devices. If you display the BlackBerry Device Software management pages, the following changes occur in the BlackBerry Administration Service:

The value of the Allow Non Enterprise Upgrade IT policy rule changes to No. You cannot view or change the value of this IT policy rule in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
Note: The Allow Wireless Security Updates IT policy rule replaces the functionality of the Allow Non Enterprise Upgrade IT policy rule for specific device models running specific versions of BlackBerry 6. For all other device models and device software versions, the Allow Non Enterprise Upgrade IT policy rule still applies. For more information, visit www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to see the Controlling BlackBerry Device Software updates over the wireless network Technical Note. The value of this Allow Wireless Security Updates IT policy rule is not affected when you display or hide the BlackBerry Device Software pages in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
The value of the Disallow Device User Requested Upgrade IT policy rule changes to Yes. You cannot view or change the value of this IT policy rule in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
The Disallow Device User Requested Rollback IT policy rule changes to Yes. You can view and change the value of this IT policy rule in the BlackBerry Administration Service. If you change the value of this IT policy rule to No, BlackBerry device users that receive and install optional BlackBerry Device Software updates can revert to the previous version of the BlackBerry Device Software that was installed on their devices.

In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > BlackBerry Administration Service.
Click BlackBerry Administration Service.
Click Edit component.
In the Software management section, in the BlackBerry Device Software deployment managed by BlackBerry Administration Service drop-down list, click Yes.
Click Save All.

After you finish: If you change the value of the BlackBerry Device Software deployment managed by BlackBerry Administration Service drop-down list to No, you can view and configure the Allow Non Enterprise Upgrade and Disallow Device User Requested Upgrade IT policy rules in the Wireless Software Upgrades policy group. If you change the value to No, the Allow Non Enterprise Upgrade, Disallow Device User Requested Upgrade, and Disallow Device User Requested Rollback IT policy rules are set to the values listed above.
