Determine if the site AO has approved the use of device cameras. Look for a document showing approval for a specific user or group of users. If not approved, review configuration settings to confirm "Allow Camera" is disabled. If approved, this requirement is not applicable. Review configuration settings to confirm that the device camera has been disabled.

This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the Samsung Android 14 device.

On the MDM console:

COBO and COPE:

1. Open "Camera".
2. Verify that "disable camera" setting is disabled.

On the managed Samsung Android 14 device:

Verify that the camera cannot be used on the mobile device.

If the device camera has not been disabled, this is a finding.
