Using AnyDesk with managed Profiles (Work Profile)

Steps to make the plugin AD1 ready for AnyDesk connections to a managed profile (Order is important)

  1. Make sure the plugin is installed in main profile and in managed profile.
  2. Make sure the plugin is activated in the accessibility settings.
  3. Open the plugin inside the main profile. Click on the overflow button and configure the plugin.
  • If that does not work, try it from the managed profile. You might need to allow cross profile communication in your MDM solution.
    • The relevant filter is: action='com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE' category='android.intent.category.DEFAULT'
    • Code example: filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.addAction('com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE'); filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); int flags = DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_MANAGED_CAN_ACCESS_PARENT | DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_PARENT_CAN_ACCESS_MANAGED; devicePolicyManager.addCrossProfileIntentFilter(getComponentName(context), filter, flags);

Mobile Device Management

As of version 6.1.10 the AnyDesk Android app can be integrated with Microsoft Intune.

This is currently only available for the standard AnyDesk client, which can then be customized on the Microsoft Intune Web-UI.

On the Microsoft Intune Web-UI all available options are displayed, including short descriptions of how they work and what they do.

For more specific information on how to do this, click here.

Troubleshooting

Plugin can´t be activated

What Is Anydesk Remote Control App

Due to changes by some vendors on Android, a restart of the Android device may be required for the control plugin to be functional.


Android TV Plugin

Warning: Please note that the usage of this workaround is without warranty from AnyDesk, and can harm and even violate the warranty of your device.

In the event that the vendor for Android/Fire TV device has disabled the Accessibility settings, the control plugin for AnyDesk cannot be activated.
AnyDesk can then be used for Remote View only. A possible workaround is to use the adb shell.
The plugin can be enabled using the following command:
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1/com.anydesk.adcontrol.AccService
More information about adb can be found at the official adb documentation.

Screenrecording Dialog (Android 10+)

Anydesk Remote Control App Download

Starting with Android 10 and newer, Android forces to accept a Dialog for Screen recording.A workaround to bypass the request is the following adb shell command:
regular version: adb shell appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid PROJECT_MEDIA allow
custom client: adb shell appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid.custom PROJECT_MEDIA allow
