Need clarification on a couple of things. Have enrolled android 10 devices in your MDM. Not as AE but generic. Saw it mentioned that wi-fi networks will not be saved. Will my ppl b able to connect to the wi-fi network I pushed automatically? Will they be asked to enter the password? Then what is the point of pushing a Wi-Fi policy?
Hello Zaina,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Wi-Fi profiles with WEP security will not get saved on Android 10 devices enrolled in Hexnode UEM as Device Admin.
Users will be automatically connected to the Wi-Fi network you configured through Hexnode if they have granted Notification access permission for the Hexnode app. If not, then once the configured Wi-Fi network is in range, they will be prompted to connect to that network. They need not enter the password of the network to get connected.
Hexnode asks for Notification access permission at the time the user enrolls into Hexnode. However, the permission can be granted even at a later time after enrollment. Open the Settings app. Go to Apps and notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Notification access > and grant permission for the Hexnode app (The steps may differ according to the device model.) Or simply search for Notification access in the search bar of the Settings app and grant the permission.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!
