Controlling user access to the features of iOS and iPadOS devices

To set up user access to the features of iOS and iPadOS devices, an Apple Push Notification service certificate (APNs certificate) should be created and uploaded to Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.

To ensure data security on iOS and iPadOS devices, you can restrict user access to the device features (for example, access to AirDrop, iCloud, and the camera). Some of the restrictions imposed on features are only available on supervised iOS and iPadOS devices.

To configure user access to the features of iOS and iPadOS devices:

  1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
  2. Select the Security managementSecurity profiles section.

    The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.

  3. In the list, select the security profile for the devices on which you want to configure the use of device features.
  4. Click the link with the profile name to open the security profile properties window.

    The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.

  5. In the iOS group, select the Management settings section.
  6. Set the toggle switch to Feature Control is enabled.
  7. Click the Settings link below the Feature Control is enabled toggle switch.

    A page opens, which allows you to configure access to the device features.

  8. Allow or block device features by selecting the respective check boxes.
  9. Click the Save button.

After the security profile is applied on the iOS or iPadOS device, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud restricts the device features in accordance with the settings defined.
