Lockscreen Widgets |
Enable or disable the ability to add widgets to the lockscreen. Placing widgets on the lockscreen means device users can perform tasks without unlocking the device. Though Samsung Knox devices have a feature that is very similar, it is not the Android lockscreen widgets feature, which is what Core controls. This option has no effect on Knox devices. See also: Block Fingerprint and Block SmartLock settings in the Device Management Guide for Android Devices. |

Always Connect Device to Managed Wi‑Fi |
When enabled, device will automatically connect to a managed Wi‑Fi if one is available. This prevents users from connecting to a nearby access point if a managed Wi‑Fi is available. If a managed Wi‑Fi is listed under Turn Off Wi-Fi for these SSIDs, enabling Always Connect Device to Managed Wi‑Fi will overrule that setting and will connect to the managed Wi‑Fi. |

Debugging (USB, work profile and managed device) |
