iOS Enrollment Types
Enroll iOS devices using Device Enrollment or User Enrollment, depending on your deployment needs.
Device Enrollment
Use Device Enrollment in environments where you control the entire device. SOTI MobiControl leverages iOS MDM to oversee your iOS devices comprehensively. You can also automatically enroll devices as supervised using Apple Automated Device Enrollment.
Other forms of device based enrollment include:
- Enrolling iOS Device Using the SOTI Enrollment Service
- Enrolling iOS Devices Using the SOTI MobiControl Device Agent
Important: Enrolling iOS devices using the SOTI enrollment service or the SOTI MobiControl device agent offers limited device
supervision.
User Enrollment
Use user based enrollment in BYOD environments, where devices are
personal devices and the enterprise adds accounts, apps, and data. A
cryptographically isolated managed volume is created on devices enrolled with user
enrollment to keep work data separate from personal data. Upon device unenrollment,
this managed volume and associated cryptographic keys are destroyed, ensuring that
no trace of enterprise data remains on the device.
Restriction: User enrollment requires iOS 13.1+ and Managed Apple IDs.
These devices cannot be supervised and administrators are limited to the
deployment of iOS Custom
Applications.
To maintain device user privacy, devices
enrolled via user enrollment report a more limited set of information to
SOTI MobiControl compared to those devices enrolled using
device enrollment. Omitted information includes but is not limited to, phone
number, IMEI and device ID.
Note: Features
such as the Send SMS and Clear
Passcode device actions, the Roaming
Restrictions advanced configuration, and WiFi proxy
configuration are not supported.
