Disabled location tracking on PO devices

Release Notes


Abstract

In the previous releases, the location permission was auto-granted to the MaaS360 app when Android 11 devices were enrolled in Profile Owner (PO) mode, and end-users could not revoke the location permission from MaaS360 Settings. Effective 10.80 and MaaS360 for Android 7.30+, MaaS360 does not auto-grant location permission during the enrollment and ensures that the permission is only granted when geofencing is enabled.

Content

Impact:

  • When the location permission is not granted, the MaaS360 for Android app cannot report the last connected SSID to the MaaS360 portal.
  • Admin configured SSIDs are applied to the devices, but not shown to the end-users.
