My previous iPad had the option to set the Auto-Lock time for 2, 5, 10 and 15 minutes, and 15 minutes was perfect.
My new iPad4 only has a 2 and 5 minute option which is very, very, very annoying.
It is a company iPad, but the IT Admin states that he does not remember seeing any setting when he put on the profile that removed the 10 and 15 minute options.

Can I increase the auto-lock time beyond 5 minutes on an iPad4?
* If the answer is yes, what is the procedure?
* If the answer is no, who can I talk to at Apple to request a fix to restore this function as it worked fine on previous versions.

This is a screenshot from my iPad 4.

When I accessed my work email through my personal phone, my auto-lock time was reduced to the only option of 1 minue. I couldn't change to a longer on time unless I removed the access to my work email. Your work IT certainly has control of that, at least mine did. Only until I removed the email access, did I gain full control of my personal phone. That was my android phone. Now, on my iPhone--I do have that option of changing the auto-lock time....however, again--this is a personal phone.

Is this iPad your personal device or a work issued device?
