View IT policy rules that are set for your smartphone
If your BlackBerry smartphone is associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, your administrator might add IT policy
rules that determine which features and settings are available on your smartphone. For example, your administrator
might add an IT policy rule to your smartphone that requires you to use a password.

Third-party application control
About permissions and trust status for third-party applications
You or your administrator can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry smartphone
interact with the other applications on your smartphone. For example, you can control whether third-party applications
can access data or the Internet, make calls, or track your location. Some applications require specific permissions to
work.
If you have added a third-party application to your smartphone, your smartphone is designed to prevent the application
from sending or receiving data without your knowledge. The first time that you open a third-party application, you might
be prompted to trust the application or to set permissions for it. If you trust the application, your smartphone sets most
permissions for the application to Allow. You can change the permissions for a specific application or all applications in
the smartphone options.
Set permissions for a third-party application
Note
: Changing permissions for third-party applications can significantly affect the operation of applications on your
BlackBerry smartphone. For more information about how changing these permissions might affect the operation of the
applications on your smartphone, contact your wireless service provider or administrator.
