Do Android (Samsung) have a like an ABM? (Apple Business Manager) to control these type of Hard Reset to Factory?

    @Joshua D. Virola, Thanks for posting in Q&A. In Intune, there is setting named "Factory Reset" which can block factory reset for Fully Managed and dedicated devices,

    To set this, we can go to "Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center "->Devices->Configuration profiles, Create profile,
    Platform: Android enterprise.
    Profile: Fully Managed,Dedicated and Corporate-Owned Work Profile / Device Restriction

    Under General, set Factory reset to Block.
