Question

Enabling Location Accuracy via EMM

Hi,

 

Does anyone know whether or not it should be possible to turn location accuracy (within location services) on via EMM on a Fully Managed device? Or is it a decision placed in the hands of the user for privacy reasons?

 

We use WS1 - there is a "high accuracy" setting in the restriction profile but the wording on that seems to correlate with Android 4.4-8.1 when you look at this document - https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3467281

 

It feels as though "high accuracy" and "location accuracy" are two seperate things.

Hi Scott, 

I can just tell from our MDM and we have the option to set this option.

And if the option via the MDM itself doesn't work (for any reason) there should be the OEM provider in charge of to provide the possibility to set this via their (if exists) oem config.

Thanks @Moombas just as a matter of interest what MDM provider do you use?
