How do I block personal Gmail accounts on macs?

I recently noticed that some of the users in our organization are adding their personal Gmail accounts to their managed mac devices. This could turn problematic soon. How do I stop the users in my organization from doing this?

Python executable script not showing in applications on macOS

Hi all, I wrote a Python executable script that automatically organizes my documents folder moving files into subfolders by type and date which is almost like an app. It runs perfectly when I execute it, but I don’t see the script in the Hexnode’s Applications tab. Shouldn’t it show up like a normal app?

Deferring major OS updates but allowing other security updates

I’ve been wanting to defer the latest macOS update for macOS 26 Tahoe for the Macs in my organization. But on the other hand, I do not want any security updates or other minor updates to be deferred in the process of delaying the OS update for the systems. Is there a way to achieve this in Hexnode UEM?

Can’t find filevault recovery key in portal

Hey everyone, I was setting up FileVault for a few of our Macs, but I don’t see any recovery keys showing up in the Hexnode console. I thought the keys would automatically appear under the device details once encryption started. Am I missing something here?

Streamline Hexnode Access Login

As an admin user, I'd like Hexnode Access to streamline the number of login authentications when logging into a device. When using Hexnode Access currently, a user has to authenticate multiple times to get into their workstation. On macOS with FileVault enabled, it's three times: drive decryption login, local user login, Google/M365 login. This…

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

MacOS AppCatalog - Download / Install progressbar

It would be really nice to have a progress bar for the macOS App Catalog. So when i click on the desired App i can see the installation progress and also a confirmation once it is done. Just like the Managed Software Update application for Munki. Also the "installed" banner is not really appealing.

Policies/Custom Profiles for macOS & iOS Devices

Will there be changes to reflect the new profile customizations in Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur in policies? Will there be a roadmap to be able to import custom profile configurations in to a policy so that we can further lock down and customize the look and feel to the end user?
