This API locks a device, which typically forces the user to enter a passcode (either a user-generated or Ivanti EPMM-generated password) to access the device and prevents the user from reversing this restriction.  Devices are locked based on unique device ID (uuid).  As all mobile operating systems behave differently, refer to the Administration Guide for details on lock support.

A third-party vendor translates this Administrator Guide into many languages. The accelerated release cadence of Ivanti Neurons for MDM means that sometimes there is a delay in publishing translated content. If your non-English Administrator Guide is out of date, please access the latest content in the English language by accessing the URL, http://[base Administrator Guide URL]/xx/all/en-us/LandingPage.htm, where [base Administrator Guide URL] is the address after http:// and before the latest Ivanti Neurons for MDM version number, and xx is the latest version number of Ivanti Neurons for MDM. For example, to access release 91 online help, the URL would be http://[base Administrator Guide URL]/91/all/en-us/LandingPage.htm.
