Configuring Mobile Device Policy
Kyvos Reporting mobile applications can be managed on the Kyvos Reporting web server. This is the server to which you connect your mobile application. Admin users or users with specific privileges on the demo server can manage the devices that send connection requests. They can provide role-based access to different entities (reports, datasets, dashboards, etc.) in mobile applications, set some security measures, and limit the scope of usage. The Unique Device ID identifies the mobile applications on the Kyvos Reporting web server.
Properties
Kyvos Reporting web server allows users to create a Mobile Device Policy under Properties. The policy helps to set authentication guidelines and what actions are supposed to happen to the data in mobile devices in case a user is
Suspended
Deleted
The user’s access is revoked on this server.
The policy can then be assigned to different devices based on the guidelines that need to be followed by different users.
To create a mobile device policy –
Open the Kyvos Reporting Web portal with the respective server credentials
Go to Navigate > Administration > Configure > Mobile Device Policy
On this page, you can Add a new policy, Modify an existing one, or Delete one one.
To add a new policy, click Add.
The fields under Properties become active. You must give this policy a name in the Policy Name box.
Authentication
Mandate Passcode—If you want the devices under this policy to always provide a passcode to access the content in the Kyvos Reporting mobile application, you can set this to Yes.
Server Authentication
You can set this to Always if you want the server to authenticate devices whenever a connection request is sent.
If you want the server authentication done for a period, you can set this to Valid and specify the number of days. Any connection request sent through devices for the selected days under this policy must first authenticate on the server.
If you want to allow a free pass, set this to Never.
Session Timeout (seconds) – If you have set Mandate Passcode as Yes, the Session Timeout option will get enabled. Here, you need to provide the time of user inactivity after which the mobile app session will timeout and the app will lock itself.
Actions on User Update
When a mobile device user status is updated, that is
The user is suspended
The user’s access is revoked.
The user is deleted from the server.
You can specify what actions must be taken with the local mobile data. You can set the values to Delete, Hide, or No Action as your preference. If a user is deleted, you can either set the action to Delete or No Action.
Once you input values in the above fields, you can Save or Cancel the policy.
