Lockscreen customization policies

Lockscreen customization policies are a group of controls allowing the customization of UI shortcuts available on the device lockscreen. These lockscreen controls are available with a free Knox Platform for Enterprise Premium license.

Refer to the following lockscreen policies:

• Use the Lockscreen shortcuts control to enable the utilization of device lockscreen shortcuts. This control must be enabled before app shortcut customizations are permitted.

  • Enter an App for left shortcut package name <string> to specify the app that opens when the device user utilizes the left shortcut on the device lockscreen.

  • Enter an App for right shortcut package name <string> to specify the app that opens when the device user utilizes the right shortcut on the device lockscreen.

• Refer to the Configure values in settings menu controls to configure policies to customize the device settings menu. These settings are part of the Deep settings customization feature available with a free Knox Platform for Enterprise Premium license on devices running Knox version 3.4 or above. Support for individual settings varies based on the device model and firmware version.

  • Use the Configure a settings menu item controls to set the value for a specified device setting and restrict the device user from modifying these values.

  • Use the Name of the Setting item control to select the device Setting menu item — including Accessibility, Wi-Fi, Language, Fonts (size and style), Sound and Vibration, and Notification setting options — you would like to control, hide, or gray out. Use this control along with the Select value for the setting control to turn a device setting on or off once selected with this Name of the Setting item control.

  • Refer to the Set value for the setting control to turn a selected device setting on or off. For those settings that are not simply turned on or off, select the Specify Value control and set the actual value for a particular setting.

    • Use the Specify Value control when a device setting requires a value other then an on or off definition.

  • Set the Allow end-user modification of this setting control to True to allow the device user to change a configuration setting. If set to False, the impacted setting is grayed out and not available for selection by the device user.

  • Set the Configure to hide settings control to True to hide settings from the device user.
