Options greyed out in Developer Options by Intune

Hi all,

 

My company Android device has some options greyed out:

 

1. Verify apps over USB

2. Stay awake

 

I tried to configure the following options but they didn't work:

(stay awake)

(verify apps over usb)

 

Are these the correct options to configure?

How to make these options available in Intune?

  • The same issue is in my Company.
    I think we've already tried every available setting.

    All of our Devices are Corporate-owned, fully managed user devices, and that functionality is necessary only for a few Devices but is needed.

    We use Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment and Zero-touch Enrollment and on both enrollments the same problem.

    Also, we've noticed the same issue on iOS Devices.
    In device restrictions, the maximum number of minutes after the screen lock before the password is required is 4 hours.


    Unfortunately, until we find the solution we can't manage some Devices in our Company

    Hi Pengfei_Wang,

    this could be a result of configuration policies enforced by your organization through Intune, restricting the ability to modify certain settings within the Developer Options.

    Unable to perform action - not able to enable Developer Mode on Android Enterprise tablet (microsoft.com)

    To make these options accessible, you may need to explore configuration policies related to "debugging features," as these settings are often set to "off" by default. Enabling this option might grant you the necessary permissions.

      Hi, thank you for your response.

       

      I'd like to clarify that I can turn on developer options & USB debugging, as well as other options in developer options. These are the only 2 options greyed out in developer settings (stay awake & verify apps over usb).

       

      And I've already have this setting turned on:

        Hi, we are experiencing same in our devices, this required for some legal hold actions. Did you find a way to enable? Are these Samsung devices? Thanks
