- \n
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In the All<\/strong> tab, click (+<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On the New Policy panel, select the Android<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the Lock Screen Restrictions policy from the list, then click configure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On the New Policy panel, optionally enter a new name for the policy, or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For Policy Notes<\/strong>, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Settings<\/strong>, complete these fields:\n
- \n
- Select Disable All Lock Screen Features<\/strong> to prevent users from enabling lock screen customizations, such as widgets. This field applies to fully managed and dedicated devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
