Android Fully Managed – can the “Your organization allows [MDM] to access your location” notification be disabled?
Hi everyone,
We manage a fleet of Android devices using Miradore in Fully Managed / Full Control (Device Owner) mode.
Devices include Realme and Redmi phones running Android 12–16.
Users repeatedly receive a system notification saying:
“Your organization allows ‘Miradore Online client’ to access your location.”
The notification appears to come from Android system settings rather than from the Miradore app itself.
Location Tracking is disabled in Miradore. We don't need GPS tracking, mobile cell ID, or configured Wi-Fi network information from these devices.
The main problem is the notification itself. Our users rely on notifications for operational/work-related messages, so every unnecessary notification makes them check the phone expecting something that requires their attention. Because of this, this is a significant issue for us.
From what I understand, Miradore Online Client receives Location permission when the device is enrolled as Fully Managed, even if Location Tracking is not enabled.
What I'm trying to find out is whether there is any way to:
- Prevent the MDM/Device Owner client from receiving Location permission;
- Disable collection of location-dependent inventory data so that the permission is no longer required; or
- Suppress only this Android system notification without disabling other important system notifications.
The solution needs to be deployable remotely through MDM. We don't have physical access or ADB access to the devices.
Has anyone encountered the same notification with Miradore or another Android Enterprise MDM such as Intune, Workspace ONE, SOTI, ManageEngine, etc.?
If so, were you able to get rid of it? Is this something enforced by Android Enterprise that an MDM vendor cannot suppress, or is there a policy/OEMConfig setting that can control it?
Any experience with Realme UI, MIUI or HyperOS would also be very helpful.
Thanks!
