On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Set Allow "Google Play" (Uses only Managed Google Play).
3. Set Disallow "Install unknown sources".

Check Contents

Review Motorola Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has only approved application repositories (DoD-approved commercial app repository, MDM server, and/or mobile application store).

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

On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Set Allow "Google Play" (Uses only Managed Google Play).
3. Verify that Disallow is set for "Install unknown sources".

On the Android Pie device:
1. Open Settings >> Apps and notifications >> Advanced >> Special app access.
2. Open "Install unknown apps".
3. Verify the list of apps is blank or if an app is on the list, "Disabled by admin" is listed under the app name.

If the MDM console device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories, or on the Android Pie device, the device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories, this is a finding.
