Bluetooth enforcement in MDM

Currently, the MDM capability is to lock modification of bluetooth. This prevents the user from toggling bluetooth on and off and prevents them from pairing new devices. Our use case is to enforce bluetooth on so that Apple Classroom always works properly, but we do not want to restrict the users from pairing new devices. Our hope is that there will be a way to control bluetooth through the MDM in a similar way to wifi is currently handled. This being an option to force it on(rather than prevent toggling if it is already off), and still allow the user to connect to new networks(in this case pair new devices).


Is this something that is being considered to better support schools using Apple Classroom?

Thanks!

2 years ago, and still now answer on it.

I am also interested in this feature. It should be possible to force bluetooth on, to prevent students from not accessing a classroom class. And keep them the ability to pair their devices.

Actually it is a educational measure, to individualy set the restriction on some devices, if they use this technic often. So they are foreced with bluetooth on, and the loss of new pairing with bluetooth devices.
