Control notification permission for managed apps through Security policies

Android 13 introduces a new runtime notification permission, allowing users to focus on the notifications that are most important to them. Apps that are installed on Android 13 will request the notification permission from the user before posting notifications.

Granting notification permission to managed apps

You can use security policies to remotely grant notification permission for managed Google Play apps at an individual app level.

1. From the MaaS360 portal home page, navigate to Security > Policies.
2. Open an Android MDM policy and then navigate to Android Enterprise Settings > Security > Configure Runtime App Permissions.
3. Provide an App ID and then select Show Notifications in Permission.

Blocking apps that use the notification permission

You can use security policies to remotely block apps that use notification permission. When the notification permission is blocked, all the apps that use that permission are disabled.

Follow these steps to block the notification permission for managed apps

1. From the MaaS360 portal home page, navigate to Security > Policies.
2. Open an Android MDM policy and then navigate to Android Enterprise Settings > App Compliance > Configure Restricted Applications by App Permissions.
3. In the Permissions dropdown, select Show Notifications.
