What's new 
I’m trying to update an Android policy so users can’t manually change the date and time on their devices. I checked the usual Android restriction settings but couldn’t find anything related to date/time changes. Where is this option configured in Hexnode?

Hello @joseph_jay ,
For Android devices, this setting is available under Advanced Restrictions rather than the Basic restriction section.
To restrict users from changing the device date and time:
- Go to Policies.
- Open the existing Android policy or create a new one.
- Select Android.
- Go to Advanced Restrictions.
- Open Date and Time Settings.
- Disable the Allow users to modify date, time and time zone option.
- Save and associate the policy with the required devices or groups.
Once the policy is applied, users will not be allowed to manually modify the date and time settings on the managed Android devices.
Regards,

I found that path, but the Advanced Restrictions section is greyed out for me. Is there another place to enable the same restriction?

If the Advanced Restrictions section is greyed out, it usually means the feature is not available in the current subscription plan. The Android Date & Time Settings restriction is part of Advanced Restrictions, which is available from the Enterprise plan.
If you’d like more details on upgrading to the Enterprise plan feel free to reach out to our support team.
