Hello,
I have some Samsung tablets in Kiosk mode that I deploy Microsoft Word and Excel via the Managed Google Play Store.
When trying to open a document that lives on the tablet (/sdcard/Documents/) for the first time, Word or Excel shows a prompt "To browse Office files, photos, and media, you'll need to allow access to all files in Settings"
Not Now | Go to Settings
When I press Go to Settings from within a Kiosk screen, Kiosk blocks the settings page to enable Access to all files for Word / Excel. Exiting Kiosk does allow me to enable the permissions, however a user would not be able to grant those permissions from Kiosk mode if Kiosk is blocking the prompt.
I did a bit of research for granting the permissions using a Legacy script, but have not been successful. I have tried these, but none of them granted the permission to Access all files:
afw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
afw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
afw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
Device: Samsung Tab A7 Lite
Android 11
SOTI MobiControl Agent version 15.1.5 1049
SOTI MobiControl Console version 15.3
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
