Citrix Endpoint Management

Network usage device policy

You can set network usage rules to specify how iOS devices use networks, such as cellular data networks. The rules apply to managed apps and specified SIMs. Managed apps are apps that you deploy to users’ devices through Citrix Endpoint Management. They don’t include apps that users have downloaded directly to their devices if they aren’t being deployed through Citrix Endpoint Management. They also don’t include apps already installed on the devices when the devices were enrolled in Citrix Endpoint Management. This policy applies to SIMs for iOS 13 devices. You can configure app rules, SIM rules, or both. SIM rules apply to all managed apps on that device.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.
