its a 2.2 feature for apps that need administrative rights on your device.
for example some companies exchange email system requires a pin code to be put in to unlock the device, this allows them to force a pin code as well as wipe the phone remotely should the need arise.
this feature is mostly for company phones, or for people that check their company email on their phones.
usually a larger company will have you sign something before giving you the right to access your work exchange email, this usually states in the fine print that they will wipe your phone upon termination, and device administration is how this is accomplished.
for more info look here to see what Google themselves say about the feature.
Ahhhh I underunderstand! Thanks

Basically the Exchange Administrator can enforce security policies on the device, e.g. you must have a password or pin set. Not everyone wants to play that way.
Sometimes you can persuade the Administrator to relax that policy, but if it is a work account, that may not be possible. If you can bypass, therefore, everyone is happy.
Having a problem with market prompting me to purchase apps I've already paid for. Confirmed account setup in settings, as well as wiped data and cache in app manager.

*edit* problem has mysteriously resolved itself. Even though I have done nothing further.
When you say "confirmed account setup in settings", do you mean that you are for sure using the same gmail account you used to first log into the market to make your purchases? Because you have to be using the same one, otherwise it won't recognize you. At least, that is my understanding of it.
It is my one and only gmail account.

I cant seem to find any posts about this but it has driven me nuts since I upgraded to Android from my non-smart phone. I don't want to give my number out to every app I install. Yes I understand I can not install apps that require this permission, but is there a way to "Spoof" this permission. in other words if an app requests my phone identity, it would return a fake number instead of my real number?
Yes Im rooted. I am running Cyanogen Jordon
If you enabled manage premisions in CM APP settings you can go to the app and disable that premision.

Will the application fail when it invokes this permission? Is there a way to block it before hand?
Reason being is I would assume on install the app requests this information and sends it off using the internet connection.
No most apps don't break after permission denial example i block internet access of the Facebook app it won't crash it just keep trying to get content and after a while it will say no connection.

Look for Privacy Blocker in the Play Store.
Has anyone been able to bypass the security requirement yet?

Why would you need to do that? Besides, all the settings are on the server side, so no app could bypass that.
Are you looking for an exchange app that will automatically log you in? I use Enhanced Email app and it automatically logs in, and delivers push email, and I can reply without any password.

On my old Skyrocket someone had set up a patch that would make your device look like it had a password to the exchange server but in fact you were able to disable the password on the device without any warnings.
If that's true then:
1. I want a copy of that patch to look at.
And
2. That's a mighty big security hole if true.

Anyone Using It? As I Have To Use It To Add My Campany Email Account Thats Not The Issue The Issue Is Its Necessary If You Use The "Google Apps Device Policy App" You Have To Add Password Which I Dont Want To As I Like Normal Swipe Lockscreen Please Suggest Me Can I Enable It Without The Password Or Any Other Alternatives
i figured it out
the only way to make it work without password is to decrypt your device
Gawd. I would dearly recommend you to use encryption and strong authentication wherever possible.
Your company would definitely not be happy with an unencrypted phone with no security accessing their email servers.
That's just a recipe for disaster honestly! What if you lose your phone?

As long as the missing phone was noticed immediately.....
Would be similar to having a corporate laptop with no passwords and such IMO.

I take it this is for exchange access? Use Exchained on the app store. It removes all policy requirements. I've used it for a year or more with no issues. My companies polices where a pain in my ass too...

Surely the best solution is to use Secure Folder for work related stuff?
