App permission management possibilities on Android in BYODSolved

Hey @fnmcr1! When setting up the App Permissions policy in Hexnode, you’ll see a list of permissions that can be granted automatically. These app permissions are specific to each app and are set by the application developer. So unfortunately, if the specific permissions you need for your app aren’t listed, they can’t be granted via Hexnode UEM.

Some permissions, especially those related to sensitive device features, require user consent and can’t be automatically granted through policies in BYOD mode. The permissions you mentioned, like Package Usage Stats, Accessibility API, Device Admin, and Overlay, fall under this category. For BYOD, permissions like those will need to be manually granted on the device itself.

Hope that helps! If you’d like, you can share your app details with us, and we can take a closer look and get back to you with more specifics.

Hey Ben, thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to configure my app in some way so that Package Usage Stats, Accessibility API, Device Admin, and Overlay could be automatically granted in BYOD? 

If that is the case please share the specifics and I will be happy to share my app with you

Hi @fnmcr1! Thanks for getting back to us. In BYOD, permissions like Package Usage Stats, Accessibility API, Device Admin, and Overlay can’t be automatically granted. Due to privacy and security reasons for personal devices, these permissions require user consent, so they’ll need to be manually enabled on the device.

Hope that helps! Let us know if there’s anything else we can assist with. 😊
