Bes and application permissions

[anything I don't mind]

I just received a new blackberry, first time i have used a device, although i have been supporting them and the BES for 5 years+ I have never used one before.

I installed some 3rd party applications and they keep prompting for permissions changes everytime i run the application. I looked in to it and it appears that the "allow" option is not available due to my BES it policy.

Where in the BES can i change this policy so that the allow option is available for 3rd party applications?

I asked the sysadmin of our work network and he said that it is the way blackberry are on the BES as such you can't install 3rd party applications without continuous annoying prompts.

I read up further and it said the way around this is to deploy applications from the BES to the devices.

Is there anyway to bypass the IT policy and set the allow permission, is the office sysadmin lying and you can actually change the permissions on the BES?

If this is the way it has been designed then it is no wonder rim are having problems, realy poorly designed security model.

Ok thanks, yea I have looked through the BES here and i can find application permissions but nothing specifically for 3rd party applications.

I doubt the guy would change it any way. But if i knew exactly where the option was that might help my case.

The alternative is too allow uses to install applications and give them permission to work?

The problem is that the applications should not have ability to do anything that would warrant not allowing applications to be allowed.

It makes no sense at the moment anyway because i can install the applications and use them, i just get an annoying prompt every time i open them. Whats the point in that ?

Not such a big deal ill just have to not use the applications that have annoying prompts, not all of them do.
