Enabling this setting should just prevent the user from accessing the
launcher / indicators .

Title:
  Indicators are not available when the phone is locked

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in The Unity 8 shell:
  Triaged
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A recent change in the interest of security removed access to the
  indicators when the phone is locked and the greeter is showing.

  This was an accentual change based on a misunderstanding

  There had been a plan to support media playback control via the sound
  indicator. Without this the user must unlock the phone in order to
  simply pause the music or change songs, etc.

  
  ----------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Revert the change that caused this issue

  - Add a switch to System Settings to enable security conscious user to
  switch off Launcher and Greeter access while the phone is locked.
  This setting should *always* be off by default.  MPT is currently
  working on wireframe for this.
