Hey, I’m running into an issue here. I’m unable to view the serial number of an Android device from the console. Any idea why this might be happening?

That usually depends on how the device was enrolled. Could you confirm the enrollment method used? Specifically, was the device enrolled in Device Owner mode through the Android Enterprise program?

I’m not entirely sure about Device Owner, but the enrollment was done via an email invite.

Got it. In that case, it’s likely enrolled using a standard/profile-based method rather than Android Enterprise (Device Owner). 
When devices are enrolled this way, certain hardware details like the serial number may not be available due to OS-level restrictions on personal or non-corporaents. 
If you’re looking to retrieve complete device details like the serial number, enrolling the device using Android Enterprise (Device Owner mode) would be the recommended approach.
