Fix Recommendation

Check Contents

Review Samsung Android configuration settings to determine whether a developer mode is enabled.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

For KPE(Legacy) COPE deployments, this configuration is the default configuration. If the management tool does not provide the capability to enable/disable "debugging features", there is NO finding because the default setting cannot be changed.

On the management tool, in the device restrictions section, verify that "Debugging Features" is set to "Disallow".

On the Samsung Android device, do the following:
1. Open "Settings".
2. Verify "Developer options" is not listed.

If on the management tool "Debugging Features" is not set to "Disallow" or on the Samsung Android device "Developer options" is listed, this is a finding.
