Chrome App Config Blocking Sign-In Pop-Ups

Hey, we’ve configured Chrome via app configuration with a URL blocklist (BlocklistURL), along with settings like homepage, home button, and default search engine.  We’re seeing a strange issue — any website that requires a sign-in pop-up (authentication prompt) is getting blocked when the blocklist is configured.  A couple of things we noticed:  If we remove the blocklist →…

Automating set friendly names for devices?

Hey everyone! We’re currently managing about 500 iPads and Windows laptops. Right now, the "Device Name" in our portal is just a string of serial numbers or "iPad." It’s a nightmare when trying to find a specific user’s device during a support call.  I know Hexnode has a way to automate "Friendly Names," but I’m curious—what are the actual best-use cases for this beyond…

View policy version history

Policies are aware of their version but it's not possible to compare two different versions to understand what was changed. Please add a support to compare two versions of a policy and compare two policies for differences.

Policies

I think it would be extremely useful if in the criterias of Policies you could add the "Type" identifier in Hardware Info. Like this I could seperate iPhones from iPads
