Group policies for managing mobile devices
A group policy is a package of settings for managing mobile devices that belong to an administration group and for managing mobile apps installed on the devices. You can create a group policy using the Policy Wizard.
You can use a policy to configure settings of both individual devices and a group of devices. For a group of devices, administration settings can be configured in the window of group policy properties. For an individual device, they can be configured in the window of local application settings. Individual management settings specified for one device may differ from the values of settings configured in the policy for a group to which this device belongs.
Each parameter represented in a policy has a "lock" attribute, which shows whether the setting is allowed for modification in the policies of nested hierarchy levels (for nested groups and secondary Administration Servers), in local application settings.
The values of settings configured in the policy and in local application settings are saved on the Administration Server, distributed to mobile devices during synchronization, and saved to devices as current settings. If the user has specified other values of settings that have not been "locked", during the next synchronization of the device with the Administration Server the new values of settings are relayed to the Administration Server and saved in the local settings of the application instead of the values that had been previously specified by the administrator.
To keep corporate security of mobile devices up to date, you can monitor users' devices for compliance with the group management policy.
The security level indicator is displayed in the upper part of the group policy window. The security level indicator will help you configure the policy so as to ensure a high level of device protection. The protection level indicator status changes depending on the policy settings:
High protection level – an appropriate level of device protection is provided. All protection components function according to the settings recommended by Kaspersky.
Medium protection level – the protection level is lower than recommended. Some critical protection components are disabled (for example, Web Protection). Important issues are marked with the 
icon.
Low protection level – there are problems that may lead to infection of the device and loss of data. Some critical protection components are disabled (for example, real-time protection of devices is disabled). Critical issues are marked with the 
icon.
