How to set up restrictions for Apple devices used in education?

Certain functionalities on Apple iOS devices used in classroom settings must be restricted to ensure uninterrupted attention for the students. Using Hexnode, you can remotely set up restrictions on Apple devices used for education with the Education Restrictions policy. With this, you can minimize the disruptions and force students to request permission prior to committing critical actions such as leaving the class.

How to set up restrictions?

To set up the restrictions policy in Hexnode,

1. On your Hexnode console, navigate to Policies.
2. Create a new policy or edit an existing one. If you are creating a new policy, provide a policy name and a description.
3. Go to iOS > Restrictions > Education.
4. Click on Configure to set up the policy.
5. Click on Save.

Here are all the restrictions supported by Hexnode UEM.
