Exactly. The only restriction is that you are the one who plays the moves.
Tournaments that forbid the use of chess engines will state it. I've heard
that some postal events are still under the old code of honor, which also
forbade documentation.
It would interesting to see a match between a player A who only has a chess
engine and a player B who only has opening and ending databases. While most
of the theory is basically deprecated, it still has a fundamental heuristic
value. When I say that theory is deprecated, I mean it. For instance, many
lines from the Richter-Rauzer are simply not playable anymore, with more
than 85% scoring chances for White.
So far, I've not experienced "only" playing against an engine. If you don't
orient the engine's searches, you better be prepared to stay in front of
your comp for a good while. Even then, the horizon effect (where a comp is
confident about a line but fails to see that it loses the next half-move)
is still felt.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
