Creating new IT policy rules to control third-party applications

You can create IT policy rules to control the applications that your organization creates for BlackBerry® devices that are running in your organization's environment. After you create an IT policy rule, you can add it to a new or existing IT policy and assign a value to it. Only applications that your organization creates can use the IT policy rule that you create. You cannot create new IT policy rules to control device applications and features.
