Disable User Access to Preferences and Advanced Settings in Library Mobile for Android

If you are a mobile administrator, you have the ability to hide preferences and advanced settings for Library app users. Simply deploy the mobile app to different groups of users via EMM capabilities and pass different setting values to each group. For example, you may want advanced settings disabled for business users, while these settings must be enabled for your developer group. This allows your developers to modify settings so they can connect to development or test environments.

For Android devices, use this functionality in the following ways:

  1. Before modifying the Preferences and Advanced Setting options, you must enable Data Loss Prevention in the Android project by setting DataLossPrevention to true through the app_restrictions.xml file.
  2. Hide the Advanced Settings option by setting the DisableAdvancedSettings key to be true in app_restrictions.xml.
  3. Hide the Settings option by setting the DisablePreferences key to true in app_restictions.xml.
