Android for Enterprise Allow bluetooth for some users

Question

We are using Android for Enterprise Fully Managed Devices and have a restriction policy that blocks various settings including Bluetooth, this policy is assigned to a dynamic group which targets 'all' users. However we have a requirement to enable Bluetooth on Android devices for some users. I have created a new restriction policy and the Bluetooth option is set to 'not configured' but this is not working.

How can I allow Bluetooth for some users via Intune?

Hi Kamran.

1) Create a group for exclusion > add users (ex. group_allow_bluetooth)
2) Add this group to exclision in the main policy where Bluetooth is blocked
3) Add this group for assignment in the policy where Bluetooth allowed.

Answer 3

Thank you for information.

The policy that is blocking Bluetooth is the main policy that is also blocking other features on Android, if i put this in the 'exclusion' then wouldn't these other features re-enable?
