Changes to Device Enrollment Settings

Release Notes


Abstract

With the previous design, the mixed-mode customers had to choose either Android Enterprise or activation as the default new device addition mode in Device Enrollment Settings for self-enrollments. In this release, MaaS360 revamped the Device Enrollment Settings to facilitate both activation and Android Enterprise enrollment for self-enrollment. For example, administrators can now have the corporate devices go through activation and employee-owned devices enroll in to Android Enterprise mode. In an effort to make the self-enrollment configuration experience easier, MaaS360 moved Android Enterprise self enrollment options from Basic to Advanced tab in the Device Enrollment Settings.
