Description
The Settings application cannot be restricted from MDM. This article provides alternative options to limit access to features in the Settings application.
Limiting Access to Settings App with a Configuration Profile
We can use a Jamf School configuration profile with one of the two options below to limit access to the Settings app.
Restrictions: There are certain settings within the Settings application that can be restricted using this profile payload.
Full list of MDM restrictions available on the Restrictions payload.
Single App Mode: Will lock devices into one application only. This method will prevent user access to all other apps except for just this one particular app. There are other conditions to consider as well when enabling this payload. For example devices can lose network connectivity if there is no configured network access at all times.
For more information see Single App Mode in Jamf School.
