Does Lock device offer more than a simple screen lock?

I was checking out the Lock device action in Hexnode. From what I see, it just locks the phone, and the user can unlock it with the same passcode they already set. I was wondering if there’s a more secure option available for situations where that isn’t enough.

“Install Application” missing under Actions

Hey everyone, I was trying to push an app to a device and went to the Actions dropdown in the Hexnode portal, but I couldn’t find the “Install Application” option anywhere. Spent a good few minutes thinking it wasn’t available for that device or maybe something wasn’t configured right. Turns out… the list is scrollable 😅. I only noticed it after randomly trying to scroll inside the dropdown, and…

Who’s starting remote sessions? How do you guys track it?

Quick question for admins managing remote support. When technicians start remote sessions on user devices, how are you keeping track of those actions? We want to make sure there’s a clear record of who accessed a device and when. Is there a built-in way to track remote session activity?

Enable/disable lost mode automatically

We have a few company devices, both iOS and Android, that are supposed to stay within our office/warehouse area. What I’m trying to figure out is if there’s a way to automatically enable lost mode when a device leaves a geofence, and disable it again when it comes back inside. For example, sometimes people accidentally…

Limiting remote access to support team only – any tips?

Our IT team has grown a bit recently, so we’re reviewing technician permissions. Right now, a few people have access to the Manage tab, which means they can start Remote View or Remote Control sessions. It hasn’t caused issues so far, but we’re wondering if it’s better to limit that just to the support team. For those managing larger teams, how are you handling this?

Is there a way to prevent technicians from performing bulk actions?

Hi guys, we’ve had a couple of incidents where junior technicians accidentally ran actions on multiple devices at once. It caused a lot of disruptions. Is there any way to stop them from performing bulk actions in Hexnode UEM?

Can 2FA be disabled for device deletion?

Hi team, whenever I try to disenroll or delete devices in Hexnode, I’m stuck waiting for those email verification codes. It’s slowing me down and honestly getting frustrated. Is there any way to disable two‑factor authentication (2FA) for these actions?
