Hi Guys

on a SBS2010 network, there will be staff using company supplied Android Tablets.
They will be used for only one company app only.

So, how do I lock down these Androids to stop them being used for other stuff (games, downloads , personal email etc) & stop any other apps being
installed ?
Do androids have a restricted user mode ?



Cheers

Or use an MDM such as Meraki MDM

Without going full MDM route, you could try AppLock from the play store, which allows you to restrict the device right back. Its free and somewhat effective, so cant hurt to try out anyway.

Android Lollipop has a built in 'screen pinning' feature that locks the current app to the screen with a passcode
