trying to add MS Exchange account to built in mail. If I activate Email app as device admin, can it really erase all data on device? Thanks
- Erase all data: Perform a factory reset, deleting all of your data without any confirmation
- Limit Password: Restrict the types of passwords you are allowed to use.
- Watch login attempts: Monitor failed attempts to login to the device, to perform some action
- Force Lock: Control when device locks, requiring you re-enter its password.2 Answers
Yes, that's the point.
If an employee looses the device you can have the device wipe all data, this protects company information.
You could refer to the following similar threads which about the feature Activate Device Administrator on the Android devices:“Activate Device Administrator” permissions on mobile devices & Exchange - Android - Activate Device Administrator. Hope they are helpful to you.
