Support to allow/disallow all apps from the App Catalog in App Compliance

Release Notes


Abstract

Apps distributed from the "App Catalog" were allowed by default in the "App Compliance" policy. Now, the Administrator can control and allow/disallow all apps from the "App Catalog" based on the new "Allow all apps from app catalog" policy setting.

Content

Previously, apps distributed from the App Catalog were allowed by default in the App Compliance policy. Configured Allowed Apps is an existing policy setting. This setting only applies to apps installed by users.
In this release, MaaS360 introduces the new Allow all apps from app catalog policy, where administrators can control and allow/disallow all apps from the App Catalog based on this policy.
Note:
  • By default, Allow all apps from app catalog policy is selected.
  • If Allow all apps from app catalog policy is deselected, and the App IDs are configured in the Apps to be allowed policy, then only configured apps are allowed on the device.
The path to the new policy setting is Security > Policies > Android MDM policy > Android Enterprise Settings > App Compliance Configured Allowed Apps > Allow all apps from app catalog policy. For more information, see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/maas360?topic=cpsaed-application-compliance.
