Hello folks,

We have a population of users in production that is asking us to disable the lockscreen on their tablets. But i don't know any parameters in features control or lockdown that is able to touch at these parameters.

Do you have an idea on how to do that ?

What's the reason for them asking for that?

Are your Samsung devices using Samsung ELM device agent or generic Android Enterprise device agent?   There is a simple script workaround that worked fine for many Samsung models running the Android+ classic device agents in the last 10 years or so, but I am not sure if that works any more on the firmware of more recent models like A7/A8 or on generic AE device agent.

Hi KIEFFER Justin,

Thanks for posting on SOTI Pulse, thanks Raymond and Rafael for responding to the post.

I would appreciate it if you could provide further clarification on your question as it is not entirely clear to me. Please feel free to elaborate on your specific situation.

Regarding disabling the lockdown on the device, it can only be done if you have access to your Web console. By accessing the device on the web console, navigating to the configuration tab, and locating the profile that includes the lockdown feature, you can administratively remove it from the device.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding this issue, please don't hesitate to let us know. We are here to assist you.

Kind regards,
