I’m trying to disable NFC usage on an Android device that’s enrolled as an Android Enterprise Device Owner device. Is there a way to do this through Hexnode?

@noor_k, certainly! You can configure NFC restrictions on the device by using Hexnode UEM policies. Go to Policies and create a new policy. Choose Android as the platform, and go to Advanced Restrictions > Allow Connectivity OptionsHere you can find the NFC setting, which you can uncheck to disable NFC access on supported devices.

I checked the policy settings, but the Advanced Restrictions section appears greyed out for me. Is this feature unavailable in our current plan?

Understood. The NFC restriction option is available as part of the Enterprise Plan. 

Also keep in mind that this particular restriction is applicable specifically to Samsung Knox devices enrolled under Android Enterprise.
