Hello guys, want to know if we can configure a policy to be a one time thing. When we deploy our devices to the employees, we initially set up general setting for the device like wifi networks, proxy setting etc. But for the developers and the testing team need to access these settings as their line of work demands it. Is there any way to apply the policies but not maintain them as a permanent configuration.

Try to associate a policy with configurations you need and then delete the policy for the required team. This may grant them access to override the configurations.

@bram that doesn’t work as all the configurations will be removed when the policy is removed from the device. I want the configuration be enabled but the user must be able to make changes when needed.

Hi @colten,
Currently, Hexnode UEM does not provide the option to configure policies as a one-time feature. A workaround to this problem is to execute a custom command using the Execute Custom Script action. The configurations applied to the device by running the custom script will only be applicable to the device temporarily.
Navigate to Manage > Devices > select the required devices > Actions > Execute Custom Script. Now, upload and execute a custom script containing all the settings to be configured initially. After the settings have been configured, users can presumably make changes according to their needs. Although, modifying some system settings may demand admin privileges.
Hope that helps your question.
Cheers!
