    Special Permission settings commands Solved

    Looking to see if anyone else knows the other command strings for pulling up the "Special Permissions" for apps, in particular MobiControl, such as this one: start activity com.android.settings/.Settings$OverlaySettingsActivity This one in particular brings up the "Draw over other apps" Setting menu and we are using this assigned to a Launch:// button on the Dynamic Lockdown (which is set to Native). I am trying to write a script that will open the 5 permissions that MobiControl is requesting but can not automatically set -  Draw Over Other Apps Manage External Storage Write Settings Notification Access Usage Stats Currently when the notification from MobiControl comes up after the initial installation, sometimes pressing the MobiControl Notification will NOT bring you to the corresponding menu and the user will have to exit out of Lockdown then go to settings to manually change these. While its a shame that these permissions can not be set automatically I know it is a limitation Android has implemented. The end goal that we are trying to reach would be a single button that would bring up the settings menu one by one so the user can set them THEN change the Lockdown to one that does not have that button any longer.
