Launcher Device Settings Matrix for Android Deployment

The Settings section of each Workspace ONE Launcher allows you to set an administrative passcode, establish icon settings, and enable/disable various functions of the Launcher profile for Android device owner deployment. Available preferences vary based on the selected mode you are configuring.

The following matrix compares the Launcher device capabilities across the different app modes. Some settings are dependent on additional factors such as permissions and COSU mode limitations and are denoted as such.

Key:

  • Usage Access: Requires Usage Access permission.
  • COSU mode: COSU setup removes certain features for security to prevent users escaping out of Lock mode.

Note: Usage Access permission is only required on non-Samsung devices. Usage Access permission for Samsung devices is a native feature requiring no prompt on the following devices:

  • Samsung SAFE MDM 5.4
  • For Android (Legacy) Work Profile - Launcher 3.0 and Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub 7.1 is required.
  • For Android Work Managed devices - Launcher 3.0 and Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub 9.0.1 is required.
