We’re currently managing Xiaomi devices through Hexnode and would like to prevent users from accessing the Control Center by swiping down from the top of the screen. We basically want to stop users from changing connectivity settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, or Airplane Mode directly from the device interface.
Could someone guide us on whether this restriction can be configured through a policy, and if so, how to apply it?

Certainly. To better understand the requirement, could you please confirm whether you are specifically looking to block access to the Control Center from the lock screen itself?
In other words, are you trying to prevent users from swiping down and accessing quick settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode while the device is locked?
Yes, that’s correct. We noticed that most general Android restrictions are available under the Pro license, but there doesn’t seem to be an option specifically for disabling the Control Center pull-down gesture.
That’s why we wanted to check whether the Advanced Restrictions functionality works properly on Xiaomi devices before proceeding further.
Thank you for clarifying. The standard restriction set available in the Pro plan does not include advanced controls related to restricting the Control Center or status bar access.
These advanced restriction capabilities are available as part of the Enterprise plan.
Additionally, with the Enterprise plan, you can configure Android devices in Kiosk mode, which enables lock task mode on supported devices.
When the device is operating in Kiosk mode, users are restricted from accessing the status bar and Control Center, effectively preventing them from pulling down quick settings or modifying connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Airplane Mode from the device interface.
