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.

Device actions

For devices, you can indicate whether non-admin users 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 icon is displayed on the device card.

Considerations when restricting access to device settings:

Android

When the restriction is applied, the Settings app cannot be launched.

Prerequisites:

1. Remove all the accounts on the device (Settings > Account).

  • Some apps automatically add an additional account. After enabling the UFT Mobile setting, check that the account has not returned.
  • On some devices, there is a setting called Users. Delete any New user items.

2. Reconnect the device.

Note that after the administration setting is enabled and the 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.
iOS versions lower than 11 using the UIA test framework

Access is blocked only for replay. Manual control is not blocked. Note that the icon is still displayed.

General Note: If restricting manual control fails for some reason (for example, if the accounts were not removed from the Android device) the icon will be displayed on the device.

App actions

For apps, you can indicate whether non-admin users are permitted to upload an app, install an app, or delete an app.

Note: Connecting to ADF devices is not supported when non - admin users are restricted from installing apps on devices.
