: Compliance setting
Description
Rooted OS or failed
Knox
attestation
This setting creates a compliance rule that specifies the actions that occur if a user or attacker gains access to the root level of an
Android
device. A device is rooted when a user or attacker gains access to the root level of the
Android
OS. This rule applies to the rooted state of the device the
UEM Client
, the
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
or
Knox
Attestation detects it.
If you select this setting, users will be unable to complete new activations for rooted devices, regardless of the enforcement action that you set.
If you set a compliance rule for "Rooted OS or failed
Knox
attestation," selecting "Enable anti-debugging for BlackBerry Dynamics apps"  stops
BlackBerry Dynamics
apps if the
BlackBerry Dynamics
Runtime detects an active debugging tool.
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation failure
This setting creates a compliance rule that specifies the actions that occur if devices do not pass
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation.
When you use
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation,
BlackBerry UEM
  sends challenges to test the authenticity and integrity of
Android
devices and apps in your organization's environment.
For these settings to take affect, you must enable the
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation feature in the management console under Settings > Attestation >
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation frequency.
For more information about configuring
SafetyNet
or
Play Integrity
attestation, see Configure attestation for Android devices and BlackBerry Dynamics apps using SafetyNet or Play Integrity.

The "Last contact time" setting specifies the number days a device can be out of contact with
BlackBerry UEM
before the device is out of compliance.
