User permissions

In the Administration settings > User permissions tab, you set user permissions for app and device actions in your workspace. By default, users have permissions to perform all actions.

This section is not relevant for OpenText Core SDP and OpenText Core Functional Testing Lab.

Device actions

For devices, you can indicate whether regular users and workspace admins are permitted to:

Restart a device
Reconnect a device
Remove a disconnected device
Change a device name
Change the device settings on either (or both) Android and iOS devices. You can prevent users from changing settings on all devices, or on devices in a specific workspace. When you restrict non-admin users from accessing the device settings, the Settings app blocked icon is displayed on the device card.

When restricting access to device settings, take into account the following considerations.

OS	Details
Android	Prerequisites: To block the Settings app, the OpenText Functional Testing Lab Device Policy Controller (DPC) app is set as the device owner. If another app is the device owner, settings cannot be blocked. Check that no other app is defined as the device owner. Remove all Google accounts on the device (Settings > Account): Some apps automatically add an additional account. After enabling the OpenText Functional Testing Lab setting, check that the account has not returned. On some devices, there is a setting called Users. Delete any New user items. After implementing any changes, reconnect the device. Note that after the administration setting is enabled and the Settings app blocked icon is displayed, you can add the accounts back.
iOS	When the restriction is applied, the Settings app can still be launched but no action can be performed on it.

Android

Prerequisites:

To block the Settings app, the OpenText Functional Testing Lab Device Policy Controller (DPC) app is set as the device owner. If another app is the device owner, settings cannot be blocked.

Check that no other app is defined as the device owner.

Remove all Google accounts on the device (Settings > Account):
- Some apps automatically add an additional account. After enabling the OpenText Functional Testing Lab setting, check that the account has not returned.
