Re: Setting UntrustedAppsPolicy to DISALLOW_INSTALL does not prevent app installs
For anyone facing this in the future.... As it turns out, that allowing a user on Android Enterprise to add a personal account seems to override the restriction preventing the user from installing apps that aren't white-listed. I am not sure if this is an Android Enterprise defect or design, but at least I've been able to prove it by testing on 2 different devices under the different conditions. Thanks much to everyone that reached out to help.3.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Setting UntrustedAppsPolicy to DISALLOW_INSTALL does not prevent app installs
Hi Lizzie, I'm trying to get an android tablet spun up on mdm so i can reproduce it here, sadly an older tablet so it's giving me some trouble, but I'll get it done. Then i can get some more information. Eric3.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Setting UntrustedAppsPolicy to DISALLOW_INSTALL does not prevent app installs
Hi Moombas, Thanks for the input. Actually the android mdm policy updates use the strings as the values. I use them all over the place in the current policy, and all of the other settings work ok.

Hi Moombas, Unfortunately, the devices are half way around the world. I have been able to confirm that the policy element is definitely getting set correctly, since it has been accepted as valid when I PUT the policy, and I'm able to retrieve the setting back when I retrieve the policy.3.6KViews0likes1CommentSetting UntrustedAppsPolicy to DISALLOW_INSTALL does not prevent app installs
We have devices provisioned on an Android Enterprise policy where the AdvancedSecurityOverrides.UntrustedAppsPolicy is set to DISALLOW_INSTALL, but users are still able to download APKs via browser and install them. Is there another setting that someone is aware of that would prevent this behavior? Thanks all.3.6KViews0likes9Comments
