We have android devices running in kiosk lockdown mode through hexnode. Is there any way to allow the device user to modify only the system date and time settings while the device is still locked in kiosk mode? the goal is to correct the time without giving access to other Android settings.

Hey @aitana, android kiosk lockdown blocks the entire settings app, so there is no way to expose just the date and time configuration page while keeping everything else locked down.
If you need to correct the time, you have two practical options:
Exit kiosk mode temporarily on the physical device and update the date and time directly in the native Android settings.
Manage it remotely through Hexnode. Under Policies > Android > Advanced Restrictions, you can enable “Set date and time automatically” and “Set time zone automatically” so the device pulls from the network, or you can use the “Set Time Zone” dropdown to force a specific region.
We just rely on the automatic network sync restrictions so the tablets update themselves and users don’t ever need to touch the settings.
