Android enrollment allows your organization to securely manage and configure Android devices for work use. Here’s how the process works:
1. Prerequisites
Your team must be registered for Android Enterprise.
If your team has not registered, you will see a prompt or screen indicating that Android Enterprise registration is required before proceeding with enrollment.
2. Personal Usages
“Personal Usages” refers to scenarios where employees enroll their own personal Android devices (BYOD) for work purposes. When you enroll your personal device:
A separate work profile is created on your phone, keeping your work apps and data isolated from your personal apps and information.
Your organization can only manage and secure the work profile. Your personal data, photos, and apps remain private and are not accessible to your organization.
This approach gives you the flexibility to use one device for both work and personal needs, while ensuring company data is protected.
You can remove the work profile at any time if you leave the organization or no longer need work access.
3. BYOD Enrollment (Bring Your Own Device)
When enrolling a personal Android device using the QR code method, select “Allowed” for the Personal Usage option.
After enrollment, you will see BYOD showing on the ownership type:
In BYOD mode, the device will have both personal and work profiles, which operate separately within the same device. This ensures that personal data and work data remain isolated, providing privacy for the user while allowing IT to manage the work profile securely.
4. Enrollment Steps
Step 1: Initiate Enrollment
Begin the enrollment process from your organization’s device management portal or app.
If prompted, ensure your team is registered for Android Enterprise.
Step 2: Scan the QR Code
On your Android device, start the setup process.
When prompted, scan the QR code provided by your organization.
This QR code contains the configuration details needed to enroll your device.
If you do not have an Android device available for testing, please coordinate with your IT team to confirm the QR code functionality.
Step 3: Complete Device Setup
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting up your device.
The device will automatically apply the necessary configurations and policies set by your organization.
5. Troubleshooting
If you see a message about Android Enterprise registration, contact your administrator to complete the registration process.
If the QR code does not work, verify that your device supports Android Enterprise enrollment and that you are using the correct QR code.
6. Additional Notes
You must use a supported Android device.
Device policies and configurations will be managed by your organization after enrollment.
If you need further assistance or encounter issues during enrollment, please reach out to your IT support team.
