    [TC72-Terminal] Retrieving terminal information for display and sending via email.

    Hello, I am part of the IT department in my company, which uses SOTI MOBICONTROL for managing our ZEBRA TC72 terminals. I'm not the one managing SOTI strategies, but I am currently developing an application that sends certain data via email. I need to identify either the person or at least the terminal sending this data, whether by the name of the terminal or its serial number. Directly through the Android APK, I cannot retrieve the serial number, and all terminals have the same name (TC72). I would like to know if it is possible through SOTI either to retrieve the serial number to send it via email, or to rename the terminals using a strategy such as {name of the group it belongs to}-001 (auto-increment). The terminals with SOTI have a homepage that is an HTML page where the serial number is displayed. if(ip) customDataArr.push("IP: %ip%"); if(mac) customDataArr.push("MAC: %mac%"); if(serialNumber) customDataArr.push("Serial: %serialnum%");If you have any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be grateful. Thank you for your attention.

    Not all Knox Service Plug-in (KSP) Policies applied to Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (SM-T227U); All Files Access and Notification Access not being granted to MobiControl Device Agent

    Hi all, I'm using Samsung Knox Service Plug-in (KSP) to push policies to our fleet of 2 device types below: Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (SM-T227U).Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (SM-X218U). I followed the steps outlined in these 3 articles to grant Special Access Permissions to SOTI MobiControl and the Files by Google app, but have not seen all policies succesfully apply to the Tab A7 Lite. https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterprise/knox-service-plugin/kbas/kba-1261-grant-special-permissions-for-an-app/ https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterprise/knox-service-plugin/kbas/kba-1151-policies-not-applying-after-installation-on-device/ https://discussions.soti.net/articles/000002579 All policies are being applied to the Tab A9+, but only some policies are applied to the Tab A7 Lite. I pushed KSP via Managed Google Play, and have tried pushing the configuration policies in both the Managed App Config page and the Profiles section using OEMConfig for Samsung. I have entered valid Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE) license keys, and yet I'm not sure why all policies don't take effect on the Tab A7 Lite. In debug mode, the Knox Service Plug-in app states all policies have applied successfully, or that the latest policies have already been applied, and yet this isn't true as the special access permissions aren't turned on for MobiControl, one of the policies I configured. I have sent logs, including Configuration Results, Received Policies, and dump state device logs to Samsung support, but no one has been helpful so far. Battery restriction shows as unrestricted when I followed the steps in Samsung's knowledge base. I also don't receive any errors of any kind in the KSP app while debug is on. It only says that all policies have successfully been applied, even though they have not upon checking after, so I'm not sure what to try next. The policies I configured to be pushed are: Device-wide policies (Selectively applicable to Fully Manage Device (DO) or Work Profile-on company owned devices (WP-C) mode as noted)   Enable device policy controls             ON Application management policies                                   Enable application management controls                 ON                                 Battery optimization allowlist: com.samsung.android.knox.kpu                                 Package Name for Auto-Launch: com.samsung.android.knox.kpu                 Enable permission controls             ON   Permission Controls Permission Policy: Notification Access Package or Component Name: net.soti.mobicontrol.androidwork/net.soti.mobicontrol.notification.SotiStatusBarNotificationListenerService Permission Policy: All files access, Appear on top, Change system settings, Alarms & Reminders, Usage data access, ALLPackage or Component Name:net.soti.mobicontrol.androidwork/net.soti.mobicontrol.ui.MainActivity Permission Policy: All files accessPackage or Component Name: com.google.android.apps.nbu.files The policies not being applied are: All Files Access Notification Access For the apps: SOTI MobiControl Files by Google This only affects Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite devices (SM-T277U). They are running Android 14, although some are running Android 13. The version of Knox Service Plug-in is 1.4.72 (24.06) The Galaxy Tab A9+ (SM-X218U) hasn’t had any issues and all policies are applied successfully. The issue is only with Galaxy Tab A7 Lite devices. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Need a locked down way of browsing to a website which also allows the camera to be used. Solved

    I have successfully configured and gotten the needed url to work in chrome using: intent: myurl.dev.odoo.com#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.android.chrome;end and/or browser:// myurl.dev.odoo.com (also needed to define chrome as an allowed app with Launch://com.android.chrome) BUT: It does not work in SOTI browser as the link requires camera access and SOTI browser sends the allow camera message to the background. Using the above solutions, users have Chrome with full access to the internet, very much not wanted. Is there anyway at all to get browser launched camera permission to work in SOTI browser? The solutions at the start were the work arounds that I found discussed in the forums. Failing that, how to: 1) hide the chrome button in the SOTI Browser app allow list? 2) manage chrome to create an allow list?

    Display version of specific app on device list

    We use SOTI to deploy iOS devices and are interested in the version of one app that is installed. Is there any way to pull this onto the device list for easy viewing? Currently I have to run the app version report but this does not include the time when the device last connected so is not overly helpful for identifying app version issues. It's a lot of effort to pull 2 different reports and then join them (especially as the dates export as text and are not easily converted)

    Lockdown - access admin menu doesn't work

    Hi, Today I enrolled 3 new devices in my SOTI instance - Honeywell CK65 with Android 13, Agent Version 15.1.5.1049 I have configured a lockdown on all of my devices (around 5000). On these three devices (which are the only ones with this combination of model and OS version) I cannot access the admin menu by long-pressing the back button.  I made a long-press, but nothing happened. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
