iOS Enrollment Types

Enroll iOS devices using Device Enrollment or User Enrollment, depending on your deployment needs.

Device Enrollment

Use device-based enrollment in environments where you own the device. SOTI MobiControl leverages iOS MDM to oversee your iOS devices comprehensively. For details on enrolling devices using the enrollment service, see Enrolling iOS Devices Using the SOTI Enrollment Service.

Important: Enrolling iOS devices using the SOTI enrollment service offers limited device supervision. You can auto enroll your iOS devices using Apple Automated Device Enrollment for complete supervision.

User Enrollment

Use user-based enrollment for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments, where devices are personal, and the enterprise adds its accounts, apps, or data. Upon user enrollment, a cryptographically isolated managed volume gets created to keep work data separate from personal data.
Upon unenrollment, the device destroys the managed volume and its associated cryptographic keys, ensuring no enterprise data remains on the device.
Restriction: User enrollment requires iOS 13.1+ and Managed Apple IDs. These devices are not supervised, limiting administrators to only the deployment of iOS Custom Applications. Features such as the Send SMS and Clear Passcode device actions, the Roaming Restrictions advanced configuration, and the Wi-Fi proxy configuration are not supported.
Important: To maintain device user privacy, devices enrolled via user enrollment report a more limited set of information to SOTI MobiControl than those enrolled using device enrollment. Omitted information includes, but is not limited to, phone number, IMEI, and device ID.
