Permissions not changeable (3rd party apps)

Hello!

We are managing Samsung Galaxy devices as Work Managed AE devices.

When trying to edit any permissions in any app, this is not possible because it is blocked by MobiControl.

It affects apps from Managed Google Play and from puplic Google Play.

The apps have all their requested permissions activated (Location, Storage etc.).

Even after sending the following script, the apps installed after its execution have all permissions activated and not changeable by user.

afw_set_permission_policy deny

or

afw_set_permission_policy prompt

What is the cause of this behaviour? We do not execute any scripts when enrolling these devices.

In my opinion this is something how it should be on a fully managed device.

Even i saw you used a script command which is only important for the mobicontrol app (agent):

afw_set_permission_policy

Sets the default response for future runtime permission requests by the SOTI MobiControl device agent.

 

You could try this:

 

afw_set_permission_grant_state

Grants specified permissions to specified applications. You cannot grant special permissions such as Draw Over or Usage Access, to third party applications.

afw_set_permission_grant_state packageName disable|enable
