Allow brightness configuration whilst using Native lockdown

I am trying to provide users with a brightness control to train the adaptive brightness algorithm whilst the devices (Honeywell CT60) are locked down.

I can achieve this by using a UEMConnnect (OEMConfig) schema to restrict all of the quick settings buttons and allow the user to expand the status bar to reach the brightness slider but I cannot work out a way to do this with a Native lockdown. We do not wish to use Activity Suppression.

A couple of years ago, we made a feature request for Settings Manager to allow the brightness slider to be used when adaptive brightness is switched on, but unfortunately it's still a case of using one or the other.

You can get it there like this:

  1. Use a device with full acces (but till in Soti Mobicontrol managed)
  2. go to the menu where you can adjust the brightness in the settings
  3. send script "identify_activity"
  4. look into the logs and there you should get the settings path 
  5. copy it and paste it as a launch lockdown item

Thank you very much.

I knew about indentify_activity and had already been experimenting with the output of this and the start [bundle ID]  script command. What I didn't know was that start  does not appear to work with specific activities in the way that Launch:// does..

By adding a kiosk Launch://com.android.systemui/.settings.BrightnessDialog item, I got exactly what I wanted (a brightness overlay control in the kiosk!

Thanks again and sorry for the late reply.
