Intune Android app - Location permission
The answer I've received from Microsoft: This message appears now on the Android Enterprise corporate owned devices because location services was enabled for this type of enrollment. This is being mentioned in the following documentation: In development - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Docs
This means, the notification is indicating that the location access permission is granted to the Microsoft Intune App. But be aware, location data is not being sent to Intune and no location data is being collected. Location information will be collected/sent only if the Intune Admin is using the locate device action.
- OK for this feature but the smartphones are annoying all users with this notification.
Is there a way to avoid this popup?
Thank you very much- The only option we found is to disable the Intune App notification on the handset - not ideal when you have 100s of phones. I cant see any option from intune admin portal to disable it
- Hi,
I think it is not a good idea.
I suppose Intune app could need to notify something in the future.
Other apps are allowed for localization access and they aren't notifying it all the time.
How can we stop the notification appearing then to users? If this is a new feature that is not out yet then i think the users shouldnt have changes pushed to them until these issues are ironed out.
Our users currently are receiving 10+ notifications a day. Some users work on call so need their devices left on all night with sound, so they are receiving notifications through the night while they are trying to sleep.
Is there anything we can do to supress these notifications from Android? I would like to keep the location services enabled but disable the notifications as the users find it very annoying.
- Further, i know these issues arent yours to resolve, but im hoping you have the same questions and can ask the same. I am going to be raising this with MS also myself to try and get an answer.
- I've asked the same questions and I'm also not sure if this is GDPR compliant?
