Improved

We’ve tightened how Swif handles certain high‑impact MDM actions on Windows BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) machines to make limitations clearer and prevent confusing failures.
What changed
For Windows devices marked as BYOD, the following actions are now visibly blocked in the Web App UI:
Device-level
Lock
Wipe Data (includes /erase-device and soft-wipe)
Rename Device
Account-level (on the device)
Create User Account
Reset Password
Change Permission Level
Lock Account
Delete Account
How it works in the UI
When you open a BYOD Windows device:
These actions remain visible but are disabled (greyed out).
Hovering them shows a tooltip in the format:"[Action] is not supported on BYOD devices"
(e.g. “Wipe Data is not supported on BYOD devices”).
No dialogs, confirmation modals, or backend commands are triggered from these controls on BYOD devices.
This matches the existing BYOD limitations documented here:

Why this matters
Prevents admins from attempting actions that will be rejected by the MDM service for BYOD devices.
Makes BYOD limitations discoverable directly in the device UI, reducing trial‑and‑error and support tickets.
Keeps corporate devices fully functional while clearly signaling stricter behavior on employee‑owned Windows devices.
