Enrollment options
Applivery supports multiple ways to enroll your Android devices, adapting to your organization’s specific needs:
- Manual enrollment via a QR code or alphanumeric code.
- Automatic enrollment through Smart Enrollments.
- Android Zero-touch, designed for automatic enrollment. Zero-touch enrollment is a device enrollment method provided by Google that streamlines the enrollment process and enables seamless bulk deployment. If you need more information, check out our official documentation.
Management modes
- Company-owned devices (fully managed): This mode provides full control over the device, requiring a factory reset to initiate a clean enrollment. It is ideal for corporate devices used exclusively for business tasks.
- Company-owned, personally managed devices: These are company-owned devices that employees can use for both personal and work purposes.
- Dedicated devices: Company-owned devices assigned to a specific employee or task, used solely for work purposes and fully managed by the organization.
- Bring your own device (BYOD or work profile): Designed to separate personal and corporate spaces within a single device. The corporate profile is fully encrypted and controlled by the organization, while the user maintains privacy in their personal profile. Devices can be enrolled or unenrolled without needing to restart the device. You can find all the information you need here.
Manual enrollment process
Step 1: Create an employee
Employees are a logical entity in Applivery that allows you to group devices. Employees are defined by an email address that does not require confirmation, so you can use real or generic emails to represent legal entities, departments, or spaces. To create them:
- Go to Device management > Employees.
- Click + Create employee.
- Enter an email address and a name. Email confirmation is not required, so you can use real or generic addresses.
- Click Save.
Step 2: Create a new enrollment
Once done, go to Device management > Devices and click + Enroll device. Fill out the form as follows:
- Platform: Choose between Android or Apple, depending on the type of device you want to enroll.
- Management mode: Choose between fully managed or work profile, as described earlier.
- Employee: The device owner. You can create a new employee by entering an email address.
- Policy: Select the policy to be applied to the device. You can set this up in Device management > Policies if it hasn’t been created yet. Alternatively, you can create a new policy here and configure it later.
- Display name (optional): A name to easily identify the device among others.
- Expiration time: The expiration time for the enrollment token that will be generated.
- Send instruction email to employee (optional): Choose whether to send a notification to the user with enrollment instructions, which will vary depending on the enrollment mode.
Note: You can also create multiple enrollments. To do this, simply open the dropdown menu next to + Enroll device and select + Enroll multiple devices.
An enrollment will be created for each selected employee. If an employee’s email is not found, a new employee will be automatically created.
Step 3: Enroll the device
Note: Instructions will vary depending on the enrollment mode and device type (Android / Apple). However, in most cases, you will need to use a QR code to register the device. In summary, the enrollment process involves the following steps:
Manual enrollment (code or QR)
Note: If Google Workspace is set as your IDP and you encounter any issues during the enrollment process, you should review the settings in Google Admin Console.
Management modes
