"Company owned" devices are not reported

[lucafabbri365]

Hello, I noticed the Get-GSMobileDevice doesn't report the list of devices registered as company owned. It is the same behavior while using Google tool Try this API at the link Mobiledevices: list, using the filter:

• customerId = \
• query = serial:\ (it is the serial number of company owned device appearing on G Suite console; if I specify a serial number of any User owned device, then it works).

Note: "query" field syntax is provided by Use search operators to find devices > Company-owned device search operators section

So the question is: how is it possible Google isn't allowing company owned devices to be searched via API ? I cannot believe that. So, what did I miss ?

Thank you, Luca

Hey @lucafabbri365 - How are you currently determining if a device is company owned or not in the Admin Console? We use MDM, but primarily for device policy enforcement on BYOD mobile devices, so I honestly haven't used the APIs or the UI for searching for company-owned devices. It seems like you're getting the same results though when using the API Explorer as you are with PSGSuite, so I'm wondering if this would be a better question for Google / the team that supports that API?

Hello @scrthq, in Admin Console the "Ownership" column identifies if a device is "User owned" (BYOD) or "Company owned". Company devices are those registered under Device management > Company owned inventory section. As I can see it's a Google API limit and, to be honest, it doesn't make any sense to me: a mobile device, is a mobile device either company owned or user owned; so why an API with generic name Mobiledevices should return user owned only devices and not company owned ?

I'm waiting for a Google's support answer.

Bye, Luca

Hello @scrthq, I'm going to close the issue because not related to PSGSuite.
