Controlling wireless software upgrades using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

By default, only the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server can select software upgrade packages that are available, send them to
BlackBerry devices over the wireless network, and request that the BlackBerry device users download the software upgrade
packages. Wireless service providers cannot select software upgrade packages and send them to BlackBerry devices unless
you allow them to using IT policy.

Administrative roles that can control software upgrade requests

The following administrative roles can perform software upgrade tasks and manage the software upgrade process on a
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server:
• security administrator
• enterprise administrator
• device administrator
