On a Samsung SM-T290 (Galaxy Tab A 8.0\") with Android 10, there is regular user account and also a restricted profile for users to use in order to restrict what apps can be used.<\/p>\n
In previous versions of android, the restricted profile could unlock the tablet. However, in android 10, I can’t seem to switch to the restricted profile user on the lock screen, unless the regular user account unlocks it first.<\/p>\n
Is there a way to allow the restricted user account to unlock the tablet, so the main user doesn’t have to login/unlock it first?<\/p>","upvoteCount":6,"answerCount":2,"datePublished":"2020-12-21T17:05:13.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"forceflow","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/forceflow"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
As it turns out, disabling file encryption then allows the restricted user to unlock the device. Settings > security > other security settings, turn off “strong protection”.<\/p>\n
In this case, there is no data saved to the device, so file encryption isn’t necessary.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2020-12-21T19:04:03.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/restricted-profile-cant-unlock-tablet-in-android-10/785477/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"forceflow","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/forceflow"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"
