6. Controlling Functionality with Mobility Policies
Lync Mobile functionality can be
controlled using various polices. These policies include configurations
targeted at user and server configuration. The user policies are basic,
and are used to describe what a user is allowed to do from a mobile
device. The server policies give administrators more granular control
over server settings related to Lync Mobility Services.
User Policies for Lync Mobile
The user-related policies for Lync mobile users are provided in Table 3.
