The system application disable list controls user access to/execution of all core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into Samsung Android 17 by Samsung. Preinstalled application: Additional noncore applications included in the Samsung Android 17 build by Samsung or the wireless carrier. Some system applications can compromise DoW data or upload users' information to non-DoW-approved servers. A user must be blocked from using such applications that exhibit behavior that can result in compromise of DoW data or DoW user information. The site administrator must analyze all preinstalled applications on the device and disable all applications not approved for DoW use by configuring the system application disable list.

Review the configuration to confirm the system application disable list is enforced. This setting is enforced by default. Verify only approved system apps have been placed on the core allow list. This procedure is performed on the management tool. Review the system app allow list and verify only approved apps are on the list. On the management tool, in the Apps management section, select "Unhide apps" and verify the names of the apps listed. If on the management tool the system app allow list contains unapproved core apps, this is a finding.
Configure the Samsung Android 17 device to enforce the system application disable list. The required configuration is the default configuration when the device is enrolled. If the device configuration is changed, use the following procedure to bring the device back into compliance: On the management tool: 1. Open "Apps management" section. 2. Select "Hide apps". 3. Enter names of apps to hide. Configure a list of approved Samsung core and preinstalled apps in the core app allow list.
