BlackBerry UEM allows you to configure a variety of settings

In general

The Data Leakage Prevention section in the General tab allows administrators to set policies that govern how certain features can be disabled in accordance with the organization’s privacy and security policies.

There are a number of settings that can be changed:

Setting Policy Default
Deny user access to Camera — This option disables the Zoom client’s ability to access the device’s camera. Disabled
Deny user access to Photo Gallery – This disables the device’s built-in photo gallery apps, as well as the ability to access and share photos. Disabled
Disable “Send to Zoom Buddies” on Android and share to “Zoom” on iOS Android- Restricts or prevents your device from sharing any data or media from other apps with the Android Zoom client using Android’s share intent feature. Disabled
iOS- This configuration prevents the Zoom client from receiving data or media from other apps via Apple’s share extensions in other apps. Disabled
Disable certificate pinning allows a client to disable the need to verify the certificate against saved copies of that certificate. Disabled

Login

Zoom’s login settings can be modified under the Login tab, including choosing whether certain security options will be enabled/disabled as well as configuring separate SSO login domains, including enabling/disabling certain security options.

There are a number of settings that can be changed:

Setting Policy Default
Enforce login with SSO Force login with SSO (Single Sign-On) only. Disabled
Disable SSO login Disables login via SSO (Single Sign-On). Disabled
Disable email login Disables login with email and password. Disabled
Disable Facebook login Disables login with Facebook OAuth. Enabled

Chat

There is the option for setting default settings for message behavior under the Chat tab, as well as enforcing this setting to all users.

There are a number of settings that can be changed:

Setting Policy Default
Move messages with new replies to the bottom of the chat This feature will automatically move messages from the bottom of the chat when a new reply is made. When this feature is disabled, message threads will be displayed chronologically. Disabled
Make Sort Message setting mandatory for all users in your account enables you to enforce the behavior specified under Move messages with new replies to the bottom of the chat. Disabled

Note: You will need to select this option under Move messages.. in order for this to work.

Webview

In the WebView tab, administrators can enable WebView filters for approved websites, as well as set block lists of sites that should not be displayed using WebView.

Note: There are several reasons why a WebView filter may be disabled. The most common reason is that the approved list can be empty, so all URLs may be blocked, even if they are not explicitly listed on the approved list. Even if a particular URL is not added to the approved list, the domain will still load if the specific URL is not.

It is also possible to enable Android-specific policies and settings in addition to the WebView setting:

Setting Policy Default
Enforce Same-origin policy – This creates an environment that permits scripts embedded in web pages to access data residing on other web pages if they have the same origin. Disabled
Disable JavaScript and Plugin allows you to disable the performance of Javascript scripts and Java plugins on web pages within the embedded browser. Enabled
Disable cache disables the caching of data within the embedded browser. Enabled
Disable local file access – Disables the embedded browser from accessing the device’s local storage, so that it cannot make use of it. Enabled
Upon logout, sessions and cookies will be deleted immediately after the client logs out. The same will happen when the embedded web browser is logged out. Enabled
