A Manual Procedure

Configure Samsung Android to disallow outgoing beam. 

This requirement is inherently met for COPE as outgoing beam in a "Profile/Workspace" cannot be initiated.

This guidance is applicable to COBO only.

On the MDM console, in the Work Environment restrictions section, set "outgoing beam" to "disallow".
