Can someone advise if geofencing only works for BI admins?

I'm playing about in the BI Andriod app for me and my family members and my account (admin) is the only one that shows the geofencing raduis option.

If I make someone else also an admin they get the option.

I want geofencing for my kids phones but no way I want them as BI admins.

Yes., because it causes profile changes...you can email support and ask for change...

I agree this needs to be possible without admin. Did you email support w that feedback? If not, please do!

I emailed support and they came back with;

It's true non-admin can't change the geofence setting on the app. However you can login with admin on the device, enable geofence, then login with another account. The geofence feature should remain functional.

I plan to test it over the weekend.

Nice! Thanks for reporting back.

Can you let me know if this works for you? If so, are you still able to control profiles as a non-admin user?

Did this work?
