Mobile Guardian MDM Enrollment Guide

In Mobile Device Management (MDM), the device is central to our operations, serving as the hub for all activities and configurations. Consequently, the device enrollment process is crucial. This process determines who can use the device, what functions it can perform, where it can operate, and when it can be used.

To manage your devices with the Mobile Guardian MDM platform, you must first enrol them. The method of enrollment depends on several factors: your desired level of management, the types of devices, their operating systems, and device ownership. This complexity means there are various enrollment permutations to consider.

Device Ownership and Enrollment Methods:

• Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): Users enrol their personal devices into the school’s account. These are often referred to as home-owned devices.
• School-Owned Devices: These devices are owned by the school and can be assigned to individual users (1:1 model), rotated among users, or shared within a classroom.

#Note: For some device enrollments a factory reset will be required.

Platform Enrollment Options:

The Mobile Guardian platform provides clearly labelled enrollment options to streamline the process. It supports device enrollment for the following operating systems:

• iOS
• Android
• Chromebook
• MacOS
• Windows

Here is a quick summary of the available enrollment options:

• BYOD (Bring Your Own Device):
  • BYOD Enrollment: Allows students to register their personal devices.

• School-Owned Devices: 
  • 1:1 Enrollment: Each student is assigned a specific device.
  • Shared Device Enrollment: Devices are used by multiple students in a shared setting.

By selecting the appropriate enrollment method, you can ensure efficient management and optimal use of all devices within your educational institution.
