Check Text ( C-45813r714457_chk )
Review Zebra Android 10 device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has only approved application repositories (DoD-approved commercial app repository, MDM server, and/or mobile application store).

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Android 10 device.

On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Toggle "Disallow installs from unknown sources globally" to On.

On the Zebra Android 10 device:
1. Open Settings >> Apps and notifications >> Advanced >> Special app access.
2. Open Install unknown apps.
3. Verify the list of apps is blank or if an app is on the list, "Disabled by admin" is listed under the app name.

If the MDM console device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories or on the Android 10 device, the device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories, this is a finding.
