Application control policies for unlisted applications

When you create a software configuration and assign it to user accounts so that you can send 
BlackBerry Device Software
BlackBerry
 
Java
 Applications, and standard application settings to 
BlackBerry
 OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) devices, you must configure whether the software configuration permits users to install and use apps that are not included in the software configuration (also known as unlisted applications). When you configure whether unlisted applications are permitted and optional or not permitted on 
BlackBerry
 OS devices, you must assign an application control policy for unlisted applications to the software configuration.
An application control policy for unlisted applications determines what unlisted applications are permitted on 
BlackBerry
 OS devices and what data the unlisted applications can access on 
BlackBerry
 OS devices. There are two standard application control policies for unlisted applications: one for unlisted applications that are optional, and one for unlisted applications that are not permitted. You can change the default settings of the standard application control policy for unlisted applications that are optional, or you can create custom application control policies for unlisted applications that are optional.
