Managed Chrome Bookmarks on Android devices

Hi everyone. I'm configuring Android devices in Kiosk Mode and need to grant access to specific web URLs. I'm considering using Managed Bookmarks in Chrome for this. Does anyone have suggestions on how to set this up?

What does it mean about `a particular device` ? does it means you can call `https://portal.hexnodemdm.com/api/v1/devices/{ID1}/` 10 time max each day, and others request like `https://portal.hexnodemdm.com/api/v1/devices/{ID2}/` also 10 times? how about device groups like `https://portal.hexnodemdm.com/api/v1/devicegroups/{GROUPID}/` does it also have max 10…

Notifications for SIM card removal/insertion/change.

Hi all, our company has provided Android phones to field employees. Recently, one of them replaced the official SIM with their personal SIM. We need to prevent this for security and management purposes, so can the admins get notified in such scenarios?

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.

Different Lock- and homescreen wallpapers

Hi, Is it possible to assign a different wallpaper to the lock screen than the one for the homescreen from the MDM? If not, is it possible to request the feature, because I am currently doing it by hand and that goes right until there is a policy update.
