Admin when I don't have admin

[lewage]

I've had admin change settings and block permissions I'll send screenshot. Who could it be? Only on secure folder apps

Can anyone help

That's normal. The admin in this case is your phone itself. The permission you are trying to deny is probably vital to something working correctly, so you are not allowed to disable it.

Android has admin controls built in for in case a company needs to limit a phone. Samsung realised they didn't need to make their own system to restrict certain actions so they used admin. To be fully accurate, secure folder is actually a "work profile" setup with enhanced security and encryption. Work profiles are originally designed so companies can split phones into work and home. Samsung is using the work mode to act as a secure container. So they're reusing features of android to become their own special features

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK and EU Community Forum

In addition to the excellent advice from @arianwen27 above.....

Is your device a work device?

Or do you have work profile turned on?

If yes to either, you may need to reach out to your IT department.
