Overview

Managed configurations, previously known as application restrictions, allow an organization's IT administrator to remotely specify settings for the Meetings mobile app.

Meetings defines the managed configuration options that can be remotely set by an IT administrator. These are arbitrary settings that can be changed by a managed configuration provider. If your app is running in a work profile, your IT administrator can also change your app's managed configuration.

A managed configurations provider is another app controlled by the IT administrator which is running on the same device. The IT administrator communicates configuration changes to the managed configuration provider app, which then makes changes to Meetings.

Prerequisites
