Remote Configuration of Android Devices

In situations when a device is lost or stolen, it's important that Organization Admins have the ability to remotely configure the Android device to avoid unauthorised access. Org Admins can lock the device and reset the device password/PIN from the Device Settings sub-tab in the Device Information tray.
