Device Administration

Activating this feature allows Google to administrate your
phone in a way similar to IT security settings on a corporate
PC. This would be beneficial in the case that your phone was
lost or stolen. The phone could be "deactivated" or
"restricted" (through administration) from a remote location.
1. From the main Settings page, tap Security.
2. Tap Device administrators to begin configuring this
setting.
3. Select an administrator device and follow the prompts.
