We can control applications that is created by using Workspace ONE SDK or Appconfig.

The full SDK features are listed as below.

Supported SDK Settings and Policies by Platform

About Appconfig applications, some application vendors has guides to set appconfig key and values like as:

Customize Tableau Mobile with AppConfig - Tableau

But we have very little options(i.g. VPN) to applications other than avobe 2.

Hope this helps

khnaveed​ - There's a few options here:

  1. By default, iOS supports a number of restrictions (iOS and iPadOS restrictions - Apple Support ). Two specific restrictions control how apps interact with each other: 
    • Documents from managed sources appear in unmanaged destinations
    • Documents from unmanaged sources appear in managed destinations
    • Note - there's also restrictions that mirror this behavior specifically for Contacts.
  2. App developers can also further constrain the capabilities of an app by implementing controls at an application level which can be controlled by MDM:
    1. App developers can integrate the Workspace ONE SDK which allows setting a PIN for the app, copy/paste controls, etc.  
    2. App developers can create their own internal set of app-level policies and allow control of those app policies via App Config policies

As you can see, for the most part the app-level policies are defined by the app developer.  Additionally, the app developer must expose control of those policies to MDM.

Hopefully that helps.
