Check content

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device. Check whether the appropriate setting is configured on the MDM Administration Console: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Allow development mode" setting in the MDM console. 2. Verify the setting is disabled. On the LG Android device: 1. Unlock the device 2. Navigate to Settings >> About Phone >> Software info >> Build number. 3. Push "Build number" multiple times until a pop-up menu display indicates developer option unavailable. If the "Allow development mode" setting is enabled, or if the user is able to find the development mode on the device, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the mobile device to disable developer modes. On the MDM Administration Console, disable "Developer Modes".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
