Prevent a user from using the work contact list in
personal email accounts and personal calendars
By default, a BlackBerry device does not prevent a BlackBerry device user from using personal email accounts or personal
calendars to send email messages or calendar appointments to email addresses in the work contact list. For example, a
user can send email messages to work email addresses using a personal email account and create meetings with work
email addresses in a personal calendar.
To help prevent a user from using personal email accounts or personal calendars to send email messages or calendar
appointments to email addresses in the work contact list, you can set the Require Work Resources For Conducting Work
Activities IT policy rule to Yes. When you set this rule to Yes, a user must use the work email account to send email
messages to work email addresses and the work calendar to send calendar invites to work email addresses.
Controlling the browsing traffic in the BlackBerry
Browser
A BlackBerry device user can use the BlackBerry Browser to browse the Internet and your organization’s intranet. The
device does not consider the BlackBerry Browser to be a work application. You can change the behavior of the BlackBerry
Browser depending on the IT policies that you configure in your organization's environment:
• If you do not want users to browse using the Internet Browser, set the Allow IBS Browser IT policy rule to No.
• If you do not want users to browse using Wi-Fi hotspots, set the Allow Hotspot Browser IT policy rule to No.
• If you do not want users to browse using WAP, set the Enable WAP Config IT policy rule to No.
• If you want users to browse using only the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, set the Allow Other Browser Services IT policy
rule to No.
• If you do not want users to browse using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, set the Allow Browser IT policy rule to No.
You can also configure pull rules to prevent a user from accessing specific web servers using the BlackBerry Browser. For
more information about configuring pull rules, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Administration Guide.
BlackBerry 6 permits you to control the browser transport selection for the BlackBerry Browser. For more information
about browser transport selection, see the Selecting Browser Transport Technical Note.
