Out of the box, MANAGED SETTINGS comes with no restrictions set on available settings offered. Without any configuration, the application will allow access to all supported Settings activity intents.
MANAGED SETTINGS will work as a standalone application in a mostly-unrestricted environment, but its true benefit comes with use within a kiosk environment, multi-app kiosk specifically.
If you are using a kiosk-enabled policy today, and have had the settings application available - temporarily or permanently - this must be removed when MANAGED SETTINGS is deployed, otherwise end users will continue to simply leverage the Device Settings application.
If you're using an AMAPI-based EMM, ensure your kiosk settings stipulate access to Settings is blocked:
"kioskCustomization": {
"deviceSettings": "SETTINGS_ACCESS_BLOCKED",
}
Failure to do this will lead to unpredictable behaviour within the Device Settings application when it is invoked from MANAGED SETTINGS, in some cases allowing broad access to settings that are expected to be blocked.
For CustomDPC EMMs, please refer to your vendor documentation.
MANAGED SETTINGS is available as a public app on Google Play, which means locating the application for installation within your EMM platform of choice is quick and simple.
You can view it on the Play Store, here:
To install it for enterprise management, log in to your EMM platform, navigate to the area where applications are configured and search the managed Google Play iFrame for the app name BAYTON MANAGED SETTINGS. Alternatively search on the package name: org.bayton.managedsettings
.

Note: If you simply import managed config and save, the MANAGED SETTINGS application will remove access to all intents, showing a blank screen.
