Managing device security features and behaviors
You can use IT policies to control and manage devices in your organization's
environment. An IT policy consists of multiple IT policy rules that manage the security and
behavior of the BlackBerry Device Service and devices. For example, you can use IT policy rules to manage the
following security features and behaviors of the device:
- Encryption
- Use of a password or passphrase
- Connections that use Bluetooth wireless technology
The Default IT policy includes IT policy rules that are configured to indicate the default behavior of the device.
After a user activates a device, the BlackBerry Device Service automatically sends the IT policy that you assigned to the user account or group to the device. By default, if you do not assign an IT policy to the user account or group, the BlackBerry Device Service sends the Default IT policy. If you delete an IT policy that you assigned to the user account or group, the BlackBerry Device Service automatically reassigns the Default IT policy to the user account and resends the Default IT policy to the device.
