How to install the app

If you want to manage devices in a third-party EMM console, you can distribute the app using the APK file from the Kaspersky website.

The following permissions are required for the app to work:

• Storage permission for accessing files when Anti-Malware is running (only for Android 6 or later).
• Phone permission for identifying the device, for example, when activating the app.
• Device administrator permission for the main protection features, such as Anti-Theft and App Control.
• Request to add Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android to the list of apps that are started at operating system startup (on certain devices, such as HUAWEI, Meizu, and Xiaomi). If the add request is not displayed, manually add Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android to the list of startup apps. The request may not be displayed if the Security app is not installed in the work profile.

You can grant the required permissions in the EMM Console before deploying the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app. For more details about granting the permissions in the EMM Console, visit the technical support website of the EMM service provider. You can also grant the permissions while completing the Initial Configuration Wizard of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android on the device.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android will be installed in the Android work profile created by the third-party EMM solution. The app will then be updated from the Kaspersky website or using HUAWEI AppGallery, Samsung Galaxy Store, RuStore, or Xiaomi GetApps.

For operation of Web Protection, you must also configure a proxy server in Google Chrome settings using AppConfig via the third-party EMM system:

• Proxy server configuration mode: manual.
• Proxy server address and port: 127.0.0.1:3128.
• SPDY protocol support: disabled.
• Data compression through proxy server: disabled.
