Users unable to change Wi-Fi settings on Dedicated Android Kiosk Devices
JimmyWork HackerMan1337 Fabrice_Osswald Stephen Neil did you guys find any solution to this problem?

Sriram10069 No known fix yet. I did have a call back from an MS engineer who reproduced the issue and said it was documented internally but that a fix would rely upon some changes in Android Enterprise to enable Intune to expose these settings correctly for kiosk devices. I haven't heard anything further in a few months now.

It's a permission issue, if you enable all notifications and status bar you will see a Android notification saying do you want to "Managed Home Screen suggested networks. Device may connect automatically. Allow , No thanks."
I have informed MS about this a long time ago. Was asked to create a new ticket after some time to another Team. But worked around it by pushing the settings app and looking the settings menu down.
In the Device Restriction Policy you need to set the following.
System notifications and information
Show system notifications and information in device's status barThe user will then get this Notification in the Status Bar, you need to pull from the top of the screen.
Old reddit post where I posted my findings and the workaround.

Sriram10069 this is the solution.
You also need to be aware that if you configure a network, and t´hat network is within range the user cannot switch, they need to be out of range of the configured network to allow this. But notifications etc needs to be turned on. This causes a bad KIOSK mode experience so i opt in for pushing the settings app and using samsung knox plugin to limit the menu.
