It has to be possible, because the requirements for MDM says:
4.2. Runtime permission grant state management
After setting a default runtime permission policy (see 4.1.), IT admins can silently set responses for specific permissions from any work app built on API 23 or above.
4.2.1. IT admins must be able to set the grant state (default, grant, or deny) of any permission requested by any work app built on API 23 or above. The EMM should enforce these settings via policy.
In the list of permissions defined in Android, I found this for usage access permission.
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
Added in API level 23
Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
Declaring the permission implies intention to use the API and the user of the device can grant permission through the Settings application.
I hope you can find a way to choose it in your MDM console. This might be the document for you, since your question is tagged with airwatch.
