Developer Options under Android Enterpise

We run a fleet of Panasonic FZ-A2 devices configured as Android Enterprise. (Android 6.0.1,  Build MMB29M.V1.01L32M0002)

Whilst sitting down with one of our Application Developers, i watched him enable Android Developer Options one one of our devices.

Wasn't expecting this to occur as my understanding (and previous experience) has me believing that this shouldn't be the case. ??

As such i went and tested a number of our recently re-provisioned devices and found that i could replicate this behavior. 

I then went and tested another device which hadn't had any recent device updates applied and found that Developer Options could not be enabled.  From there, i updated the MobiControl Agent on the same device to Version 13.7.6 Build 1004. As soon as i did this, i found that Developer Options could now be enabled. (This morning I've updated to Agent Version 13.8.0 Build 1047 and this behavior still persists)

Has anybody had similar a experience??  Am i correct in believing that Developer Options shouldn't be available with Android Enterprise?

Thanks in advance

Are you managing the devices with Device Owner (Fully/ Work Managed) or Profile Owner (Managed/ Work Profile)? Do you have a Feature Control Profile applied restricting USB debugging or are you expecting it to be disabled by default?

G'day Matt,

These are Fully Work Managed configured devices. (These particular devices are in Kiosk mode however i have others that aren't)

Can confirm I do have Feature Control applied to the profile with the  'Disable USB Debugging' setting Enabled. 

Thanks for the prompt response.
