Phone Administrators

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.
The Phone Administration feature allows you to select one or more administration applications
that control your phone for security purposes (for example, if your phone is lost or stolen).
These applications enforce remote or local phone security policies. Some of the features a
phone administration application might control are:
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone is restored to factory
settings.
Automatically locking the phone.
Restoring factory settings on the phone.
Note: If a phone uses multiple enabled administration applications, the strictest policy is
enforced.
