Assigned Access (Phone)
Assigned Access replaces the standard device home screen with a customizable home screen. Users have access only to authorized applications, and are prevented from accessing all other applications and device controls.
By locking down devices, organizations can minimize the risk of unauthorized persons accessing information on their mobile devices. Administrators can control exactly which programs users are allowed to run. This decreases the amount of down-time caused by users changing settings that may adversely affect the operation of the device or application software, and also decreases support costs. SOTI MobiControl allows running the mobile devices in a kiosk mode with a read-only access to provide critical information to the end users, without giving them the ability to change the settings.
