Self Enrollment

Mobile Device Manager Plus provides an option for self enrollment, where the end users can enroll the devices by themselves. Follow the steps mentioned below to configure Self Enrollment settings. Ensure AD/Azure authentication is enabled for Self Enrollment to work. Self Enrollment process is the same for iOS, Android and Windows devices. User should access the following URL from the device which needs to be enrolled http://<server name:port number>/MDM/enroll.

Enabling Self Enrollment

The following steps needs to be performed to enable Self Enrollment:

  1. On the web console, navigate to Enrollment.
  2. Click Self Enrollment and click on Configure.

Change the Default Group for Self Enrollment

Follow the steps mentioned below to change the default group:

  1. On the web console, navigate to Enrollment
  2. Click Settings, and choose Groups for Enrolled Devices Under Self Enrollment
  3. Select the device type for which you wanted to change the default group and Click Edit Default Group button.
    All the groups available based on the operating system will be listed from which you can choose and save the default group.

Restrict Self Enrollment to specific AD groups

The self enrollment URL is usually shared across the organization and any device can be enrolled with the URL as it is device/ user independent. Thus, administrators may want to restrict self enrollment to specific AD groups. MDM MSP allows you to restrict self enrollment only to specific AD groups, ensuring only specific devices get enrolled with MDM. Follow the steps specified below to restrict self enrollment:

  1. For the option Allow Self Enrollment for, select All AD Groups, to allow users in all the AD groups to self enroll the devices. You can optionally exclude specific groups as well by specifying the groups to be excluded the option of Self Enrollment.
  2. If you choose Selected AD Groups, only users of specific groups are allowed to self enroll the devices. Specify the groups to be allowed self enrollment.

Restrict Self Enrollment to specific number of devices

Self Enrollment allows users to enroll multiple devices without any admin intervention. While it reduces admin intervention, allowing users to enroll multiple devices could lead to security concerns in organizations and hence most organizations prefer restricting the number of devices that can be enrolled per user. MDM MSP allows admins to regulate the number of devices that can be enrolled by the user.

While configuring Self enrollment, admins can enter the number of devices that can be enrolled per user under the option Number of devices per user. This will ensure the user can access the URL only to enroll the specified number of devices.

Auto assign device to Groups

The devices which are enrolled need to be added to groups. When devices are enrolled using Self Enrollment, we can choose the groups to which the devices will be added upon enrollment.

  1. Under Auto Assign Groups , enter the platform and owned by details along with the group to which the devices which satify these criteria be added.
  2. Once all the required groups have been added, click on Save to save the settings.

When a new device is enrolled into a specific group, all the profiles and apps distributed to that group will automatically be applied to the newly added device. This will ensure that all the policies and restrictions applied to the device as soon as it is enrolled.

If no groups are added while configuring Self Enrollment,the devices will be considered as unassigned. In this case, the devices will not be part of any group and will be considered as individual devices. Therefore, these devices will not receive any of the profiles or apps upon enrollment. Follow the steps given here to manually add the devices to Groups.

It is recommended to promote Self Enrollment to users by publishing/promoting the Self Enrollment URL, through the internal forums, blogs, mails to reach more users.
