Device Administrators - Gigaset GS370 User Manual

•
For many apps, all permissions are displayed in Google Play before installation. You can use
this information to decide whether you want to install the apps.
•
Some apps are installed without any prompts about permissions. You are then able to grant
or deny individual permissions when using the apps for the first time.
•
Permissions might be changed when apps are updated automatically. When using for the
first time a function which requests a new permission, you might have to grant or deny
access to this data or function.
•
If you want to check all updates before an installation, disable the automatic updates option
in the Play Store.

Device administrators

Device administrators are apps authorised to create a connection to your smartphone and to
exchange data, for synchronisation for example. You can authorise this by setting up an account
hosted by a business service, such as for an email, calendar or business app.

If you disable a device administrator, you revoke the permission of associated
services to synchronise data on your phone.
Google services (Gmail, contacts, calendar, etc.) are not treated as device
administrators. Permissions for these services to make changes on the smartphone
are managed from the Google account settings.
