Check Text ( C-72089r1_chk )
Review configuration settings to confirm "Allow iCloud Photo Library" is disabled.

This check procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS management tool and the Apple iOS device.

Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review.

In the Apple iOS management tool, verify "Allow iCloud Photo Library" is not checked.

On the Apple iOS device:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap "General".
3. Tap "Profiles" or "Profiles & Device Management" or "Device Management".
4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the Apple iOS management tool containing the restrictions policy.
5. Tap "Restrictions".
6. Verify "iCloud Photo Library not allowed" is listed.

If "Allow iCloud Photo Library" is not disabled in the Apple iOS management tool or the restrictions policy on the Apple iOS device from the Apple iOS management tool does not list "iCloud Photo Library not allowed", this is a finding.
