Review device configuration settings to confirm that the device locks the screen after 15 minutes (or less) of inactivity.

This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

On the MDM console, in the Android lock screen restrictions, verify that the "max time to screen lock" is "15" minutes or less.

On the Samsung Android device, do the following:
1. Unlock the device.
2. Refrain from performing any activity on the device for 15 minutes.
3. Verify that the device requires the user to enter the device unlock password to access the device.
