This policy setting determines whether an end user can change diagnostic data settings in the Settings app. If you set this policy setting to "Disable diagnostic data opt-in settings", diagnostic data settings are disabled in the Settings app. If you don't configure this policy setting, or you set it to "Enable diagnostic data opt-in settings", end users can change the device diagnostic settings in the Settings app. Note: To set a limit on the amount of diagnostic data that is sent to Microsoft by your organization, use the "Allow Diagnostic Data" policy setting.
