We manage a fleet of Samsung devices (Galaxy A16 phones; Tab A11 tablets) enrolled with Headwind MDM in device owner mode.
On One UI, the lock screen shows widgets by default - calendar, weather, battery, routines - and end users can add more by long-pressing the lock screen. For our corporate-owned, single-use devices this is unwanted: it exposes information before authentication and confuses end users. I can't find any setting in the web panel that controls this.
Is there a way to achieve this with the current version of Headwind MDM?
From my research, the standard mechanism for this is the Device Owner API, which Google documents as the intended way for admins to block lock screen widgets:
dpm.setKeyguardDisabledFeatures(adminComponent, DevicePolicyManager.KEYGUARD_DISABLE_WIDGETS_ALL);
Since the Headwind launcher already runs as device owner, it appears it would have the rights to apply this policy - it just isn't exposed in the configuration. If it isn't currently possible, could this be added as an option (e.g. a "Disable lock screen widgets" checkbox in Device Settings, or ideally a bitmask covering the other keyguard features like camera and notifications)?
Note this will likely affect more users over time: lock screen widgets are rolling out in AOSP for tablets and phones from Android 16 QPR1, so it won't stay a Samsung-only issue.
