Lock down settings on iQ 4 devices

To lock access to settings on SMART Board interactive displays with iQ, connect a USB drive to one display and create a lockdown certificate. After you obtain the lockdown certificate, create a lockdown policy and apply it to a display, multiple displays, all displays that match a saved filter’s criteria, or a group.

Tip 

You can use a lockdown certificate from a single display to lock settings on multiple displays. You don’t need to create a lockdown certificate on each display for which you want to lock settings.
