We have set up few ipads in our school environment for common use. The issue is that some students are setting up device passcodes as a joke, and the device becomes unusable for others who wants to use it. We’re able to clear the passcodes from the portal but is there a way to prevent these students from setting it again?
Thank you for reaching out to us, @abbi.
Yes, you can easily restrict the students from setting a device passcode from the Hexnode portal. To enable this restriction, navigate to Policies > iOS > Advanced Restrictions > Allow Security and Privacy Settings, uncheck the option Modify passcode and associate it with the required devices. This will block the students from adding, changing or removing the passcode on the iPads.
This feature is only applicable to supervised iOS devices running 9.0+ and iPadOS devices running 13.1 and later.
Hope this helps. Do reach out to us for any further queries.
Cheers!
