**TL;DR:** Configure Android app settings remotely with Applivery's Managed Properties feature for consistent and secure user experiences.

When managing Android Devices with Applivery, it’s not just about installing or blocking Apps. Many applications allow you to adjust their behavior through what are known as **Managed Properties**. These properties let you preconfigure certain aspects of Apps (such as URLs, permissions, default behavior, etc.) even before the user opens them for the first time. Everything is done from the Applivery Dashboard—no need to touch the Device.

## What are Managed Properties?

**Managed Properties** are configuration options that an App offers when it is managed through an MDM system. For example, an email App might allow you to preconfigure the server, port, and whether SSL is required.

Applivery automatically detects these properties in compatible Apps and allows you to modify them from the Dashboard.

## How to configure them?

**Navigate to Policies**

Once in the [**Applivery Dashboard**](https://dashboard.applivery.io/), go to any of your **Policies 1.** Select the **Apps** 2 section in the left-hand menu, and click the **\+ Add App** button 3.

**Choose an App**

Choose an **App** 4 from the list, and when you click on it, a side menu will appear displaying all the **configurable properties available** 5.

**Configure Managed Properties**

Simply fill in the fields based on the settings you want to apply.

**Save and Deploy**

Once you’re done, click the **Save changes** button 6 and deploy the Policy to the selected group of Devices—the settings will be applied automatically.

Managed Properties are a powerful tool for customizing how Apps behave on managed Devices, without relying on the end user. They help save time, reduce configuration errors, and ensure a more consistent and secure user experience. All from the Applivery Dashboard, with just a few clicks.

## AOSP Devices Support

Managed App properties are fully supported on AOSP — same steps, same experience. The Applivery DPC applies them at install time using `DevicePolicyManager.setApplicationRestrictions(...)`, no Google services required. Any App that exposes a managed configuration schema (`<restrictions>` in its manifest) works the same way.
