Hi,
Just wondering how other admins are handling installation of 3rd party
application.
We currently disallow installation of 3rd party applications using IT policy.
This has caused various complaints and request from our user base.
How do you deal with third party applications?
Is there any

Some downloaded apps cause JVM errors on BBs. Thus requiring support

I currently have different groups setup. Mainly my executives have the ability

By default all apps are disallow.
If an app doesn't have an offline installer...too bad. So far a few companies

The security of our information takes precedence.
