Security the permissions needed to perform certain tasks remotely. Without
these privileges, remote lock would not work and device wipe would not be
able to completely remove your data. If you want to remove the app, make
sure to revoke these privileges before trying to uninstall from Settings >
Security > Select device administrators.
