The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server uses the BlackBerry Policy Service to send IT policies to BlackBerry devices. An IT policy
is made up of rules that define BlackBerry device security, settings for synchronizing data over the wireless network, and
other behaviors for the individual user accounts or groups of user accounts that you define. You can use the BlackBerry
Manager to configure IT policies.
Feature Description
wireless delivery When you configure IT policies, all settings take effect when the BlackBerry
Policy Service delivers them to BlackBerry devices over the wireless network.
New IT policy rule settings write to the user configurations on BlackBerry
devices automatically.
To keep the IT policy rule settings current, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
periodically sends the IT policies to BlackBerry devices over the wireless
network.
IT policy coverage When you install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and add user accounts to it,
the BlackBerry Policy Service adds the user accounts to the default IT policy
automatically. Until BlackBerry devices accept the IT policy, the user accounts
are not active on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
You can assign a different IT policy to user accounts. User accounts must
always be assigned to one IT policy. If you delete all IT policies, the BlackBerry
Policy Service assigns user accounts to the default IT policy automatically.
IT policy assignment You can assign an IT policy to individual user accounts or groups of user
accounts.
resend options If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot send an updated IT policy to a
BlackBerry device immediately—for example, if a user is outside of a wireless
coverage area—you can resend the IT policy manually or configure the period
of time after which the BlackBerry Policy Service resends the IT policy
automatically. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server continues to resend the IT
policy automatically until it sends the IT policy to a BlackBerry device
successfully.
security enforcement You can configure IT policies to override user-defined security settings on
BlackBerry devices.
