Mobile Content Management (MCM), also known as Managed App Configuration, is a feature that allows remote configuration of custom parameters/information for managed Android applications that have this capability.
Below, we will see how to use this feature on the Pulsus platform. Also, from now on, we will refer to this feature only as MCM.
Prerequisites:
Apps approved on the Play Store;
Devices with Fully Managed.
It is possible to view MCM in the Applications menu, in those that are approved on the Play Store.
When accessing the environment and selecting an app that has been approved on the Play Store, hover over it and find the MCM function.
These settings are defined by the application itself. Therefore, you will see different fields in each of them.
Let's exemplify what can be done in the Chrome application, but you can create various configurations with different applications.
In the case of Chrome, by clicking on this functionality, you will see numerous alternatives for additional configurations.
The first thing to do is to add the name for the configuration you will create.
In this article, we will guide you in using the Allow access to a list of URLs resources.
Attention: We recommend using this functionality in cases where there is a need to release Chrome, but some domains/sites cannot be accessed. As our Allowed Sites option only allows the release of sites, but not the blocking.
To release the sites, you must add a name in the configuration, as in the first image, and type the desired domains, between [ ], "" and ,. As in the example below:
["https://pulsus.mobi/","https://www.google.com/","chrome://policy/,"https://www.globo.com/"]
Tip: the option chrome://policy/, when allowed, will validate if this condition was applied to Chrome and may show you the released domains.
In addition to this option, you must also configure the Block access to a list of URLs.
Entering the following information in the field: ["*"]
This condition will inform you that all sites will be blocked, except those that were defined previously, in the Allow access to a list of URLs session.
Variables
To make your managed configurations even more assertive, you can use the following Pulsus information variables in open fields:
$user_name$ -> Current device user name
$email_address$ -> Current device user email
$deviceid$ -> Device ID
In this article, we saw how to release domains and block all the remaining possible sites.
Inverting the configuration, you can also block certain domains.
After these settings, you can access or block the domains you want.
