Self Enrollment

Mobile Device Manager Plus provides an option for Self Enrollment, wherein  the end users can enroll devices by themselves. This is helpful in scenarios when you want to ensure data security on personally owned devices which access corporate data, ie, BYOD/COPE devices. Follow the steps mentioned below to configure Self Enrollment settings. Ensure that AD/Azure authentication is enabled for Self Enrollment to work. The Self Enrollment process remains the same for iOS, Android and Windows devices. Users should access the following URL from the device which needs to be enrolled:

• On-premise: https://<FQDN>:<PORT>/mdm/enroll
• Cloud: https://mdm.manageengine.com/enroll - This enrollment link may vary depending on your region (e.g., ".eu" for Europe, ".in" for India)

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.

In the case of MDM Cloud, when users try to self enroll the device, they will be prompted to sign up and create an account with Zoho. On successful account creation, they will receive an email, to register their account and join the organization. An email with the OTP and the enrollment invite will be sent to the users.

Authentication

On-prem:
Users will get an authentication prompt where they should enter email, username and password. Additionally, if more than one AD is integrated then users can select the AD in dropdown and authenticate.
Cloud:
A specific AD can chosen for authentication in MDM Server. Users will be redirected to the corresponding AD, once it is authenticated the enrollment process will continue.

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 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 Platforms

Self-enrollment can be restricted to certain platforms. For example, admin may choose only to allow self-enrollment on specific platforms such as iOS or Android and restrict it on others. This can be done to maintain security and control over the enrollment process. While configuring Self Enrollment, admin can select the platforms that they want to restrict from 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 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.
