Prevent employee from disabling GPS

Hi, How can I prevent employees from disabling GPS on fully managed Android devices used for field operations, ensuring continuous location tracking for compliance and safety purposes? Alternatively, if directly locking the GPS isn't possible, how can access to device settings be restricted to prevent users from turning off location services?

We're transitioning from one mdm software to hexnode, and running into an issue with our Network Certificates.

Use keyboard for Android Remote Control

It would be beneficial if users could use their computer keyboards to type remotely on the device, rather than having to click on the virtual keyboard. This feature would allow me, and likely many other users, to stop using TeamViewer and consider upgrading to Ultimate.
