Google Apps Device Policy for Android
Google have released a new version of their Google Apps Policy tool to the Android Market for devices running Android 2.2 and later. When used with a Google Apps for Business domain account, it allows administrators to enforce usage policies on user devices including:
- Enforce password usage
- Enforce password length
- Enforce password complexity
- Enforce password expiration
- Enforce password history
- Enforce password attempts
- Enforce on-device encryption
- Disable camera
- Disable synchronisation when roaming
Administrators can also remotely wipe devices from the user's settings page from their web browser:
This level of device management has been available to Google Apps administrators for a while, but together with this release, Google have also made it possible for admins to specify that only devices which can adhere to usage policy can access a Google Apps domain:
The Domain Apps Policy tool is available for download from the Market here - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.enterprise...
NOTE - while administrators have been able to enforce data encryption on devices previously, this has only applied to devices that support on-device encryption. If the "Restrict" option is selected and data encryption is required, currently only Android 3.0 devices support encryption and as such enabling this feature for Android devices will render clients running Android 2.x unable to access Google Sync.
Once installed, you will be prompted to specify which Google account the tool is to be used with, and you will be prompted to accept the policies that will be enforced:
