To block access to the location button on Android.
In the App Configuration you can define two location permissions if the app can accept App Configuration Policies (see screenshot).
“Location access (fine)”
“Location access (coarse)”
Location permissions are for the most part something that Google does not allow to be set remotely and needs to be performed on the device, by user consent. Even with the App Configuration settings users are always able to change the location permissions on an Android device and there is no way Intune can 'configure' this to be set permanently on device.
This is by design and forces you to explain to users why the permission is needed - this is the whole intent from Google's perspective.
One user is using a App in their company owned Android device. However, user is unable to get access to google maps and location permission is stating Action not allowed. How to resolve this?
