Need to keep Android demo phones passcode-free, but compliance says no

Hey everyone, Quick one, we have Android demo phones deployed in a big mall. They’re tethered to security tags, so we don’t want any passcode or password set (staff need quick access for demos).

We’ve set a 5-minute screen lock policy on all our macOS devices through Hexnode. It works perfectly, and devices lock themselves after inactivity just like they’re supposed to.

Compliance management in Hexnode

Hey Community, I’m an IT admin and new to Hexnode. I am currently exploring how to configure devices so that their compliance status can be determined based on some conditions. I’ve noticed that it could be configured through the Policies section in Hexnode UEM. If I could just get a bit of insight on it…thanks in advance!

Marking devices inactive

Hey everyone, quick question.  We have a couple of devices that were previously used by an ex-employee. Nobody has touched them for a while, so I was wondering if there is any way to mark a device as inactive in Hexnode. It would help me keep things tidy.

Introducing CIS benchmark standards for macOS devices

The CIS Benchmarks define best practices for securing systems and enhancing regulatory compliance. These guidelines span a variety of system configurations from passcodes and security settings to software updates and device restrictions, all designed to strengthen your device’s security posture.

Fix compliance button

i think if you could add a fix compliance option that would be awesome, for example an action option to "install missing profiles" to all selected devices. "install all missing apps"
