Managed Home Screen, Overlay permission, not able to allow site permissions

Hi,

We use shared devices, enrolled as dedicated devices with Azure AD, and deploy Managed Home Screen to them. Overlay permission is granted for MHS.
When browsing to a website (in Edge) that requires permissons to use the device Location or Camera the expected pop-up asking you to Allow or Block the permission is shown, however nothing happens when pressing any of the options. Meaning you cannot allow site permissions.

 

I know this is related to the Overlay permission that is granted for MHS, since it works if I exit kiosk mode.

We had a similar problem a few months ago, where we got another message saying “This site can´t ask for your permissions…” when we tapped the Allow button.
That problem was solved by adding an app configuration for Edge, “Enable Overlay Permission Detection” and set it to False. That setting is still applied but since some weeks ago, probably since last Edge update, it does not help.

 

I have found a workaround, not very user friendly though. If I refresh the web site 3-4 times until the permission pop-up stops showing, I can tap the lock-icon in the address bar and switch the required permission from blocked to allowed.
