Watch list
Apps you want to keep an eye on. A green dot means it's installed on this tablet right now.
Control list
Apps you've chosen to block or allow. Blocking hides the app on the tablet; the choice sticks even while the tablet is offline and re-applies when it reconnects.
Apps installed on this tablet
Open, close, block or watch any app. Blocking needs master or limited access; blocking uses Device-Owner controls.
Lock the Settings app
Choose how much of Android Settings students can reach. "Limit" keeps Settings open but blocks Wi-Fi, accounts, date/time and app controls. "Block" hides the Settings app entirely. Needs Device Owner (master control provisioning).
Device lockdown
Lockdown blocks factory reset, safe boot, adding accounts, unknown-source installs and hides the status bar. This is the strongest set of restrictions Android grants a Device Owner.
Camera
Master control provisioning
Run this once per tablet over ADB to make the agent the Device Owner. This is what unlocks silent install/uninstall, lockdown, the settings deadlock and remote wipe. The device must have no accounts added (cleanest right after a factory reset).
adb shell dpm set-device-owner "com.matepadmdm.agent/.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver"
Root / shell command console
Runs a shell command on the tablet. Uses su if the device is rooted; otherwise it runs with the agent's own privileges (many pm, am, settings and dumpsys reads still work). Output appears below.
Install or remove software
Silently install an APK from a URL, or uninstall an app by package name. Device Owner only.
Software update
Push the published agent update to this tablet now. Because the agent is Device Owner, the update installs silently and in place — Device-Owner status and every granted permission carry over, so nothing needs to be re-approved on the tablet.
Danger zone
These interrupt whoever is using the tablet.
