Create a device compliance policy

Before creating a device compliance policy, you should create a compliance notification so that Microsoft Endpoint Manager understands how to respond to both compliant and noncompliant devices. You created a compliance notification in the previous section. With the notification in place, it serves as a backstop should the device be noncompliant.

Perform these steps to create a compliance policy that requires enrolled Android devices to enter a password of a specific length before access is granted to corporate resources:

1. Sign into the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center at https://endpoint.microsoft.com as a global administrator.
2. Select Devices, and then under Policy, click Compliance policies.
3. On the Compliance policies page, click Create Policy.
4. On the Create a policy blade, under Platform, select Android device administrator and select Create.
5. On the Android compliance policy page, on the Basics tab, type the name Android Password Compliance, add a Description, and select Next.
6. On the Compliance settings tab, modify the settings you require and then select System Security.
7. On the System Security area, click Require for the Require A Password To Unlock Mobile Devices option.
8. Select At least numeric for the Required password type option, as shown in Figure 2-3.

9. Type 6 in the Minimum password length dialog box.
10. Review the remaining security settings.
11. Click Next three times, and then on the Assignments tab, choose the Android device or device group to assign the policy to, click Select, and then select Next.
12. Select Create to create the policy.
    When you’ve successfully created the compliance policy and assigned it, the policy will appear in your list of device compliance policies.
