Android Enterprise
Android Enterprise is a set of tools and services provided by Google as an enterprise management solution for Android devices. With Android Enterprise:
- You use Endpoint Management to manage company-owned and bring your own device (BYOD) Android devices.
- You can manage the entire device or a separate profile on the device. The separate profile isolates business accounts, apps, and data from personal accounts, apps, and data.
- You can also manage devices dedicated to a single use, such as inventory management. For an overview from Google of what Android Enterprise can do, seeAndroid Enterprise Management.

Getting started with Android Enterprise
Important:
Device administration mode is no longer supported. If your users have devices in device administration mode, see从设备管理迁移到Android烤鸭rprise. After your devices are migrated to Android Enterprise, use the following steps to set up Android Enterprise devices.
One-time setup
创建一个managed Google Play account.
SeeUsing managed Google Play with Endpoint ManagementandRequirements.
Bind your Google Play account to Endpoint Management.
Plan how you want to manage devices.
Plan enrollment security for user devices.
Prepare to deliver MDX-enabled apps.
Use the MAM SDK to develop apps. Or, if you aren’t ready to transition to the new SDK, use the command-line based MDX Toolkit to wrap the apps.
SeeMAM SDK overview.
At this point, you’re prepared to configure your Android Enterprise devices with app and devices policies, enrollment profiles, and apps. See the following section for guidance.
Configure devices
创建交付组。
Control who gets what resources and when they get them. SeeDeploy resources.
We’ll stop delivering apps published for the legacy DA platform to devices enrolled in Android Enterprise. For Android Enterprise devices, publish apps for the Android Enterprise platform. To continue to publish legacy DA apps to devices in DA mode, create a separate delivery group for those apps. SeeDeprecation.
Add apps. You can approve the apps in Google Play directly from the Endpoint Management console.
See the Google support article,Manage apps in your organization.
Create enrollment profiles.
Specify device and app management enrollment options. SeeDevice deployment scenarios and profilesandCreating enrollment profiles.
- When you deploy an Android Enterprise public app store app to an Android device user, that user is automatically enrolled in Android Enterprise.
- Zero-touch enrollment allows you to configure devices to enroll automatically when they’re first powered on. SeeZero-touch enrollment.
Configure device and app policies.
Balance enterprise security with user privacy and user experience. SeeConfigure Android Enterprise device and app policies.
Distribute apps.
You use managed Google Play to add, buy, and approve apps for deployment to the Android Enterprise workspace on a device. Users can only install apps from managed Google Play that you make available for them.
See:

SeeSecurity actions.
Using managed Google Play with Endpoint Management
When you integrate Endpoint Management with managed Google Play to use Android Enterprise, you create an enterprise. Google defines an enterprise as binding between the organization and your enterprise mobile management (EMM) solution. All the users and devices that the organization manages through your solution belong to its enterprise.
An enterprise for Android Enterprise has three components: an EMM solution, a device policy controller (DPC) app, and a Google enterprise app platform. When you integrate Endpoint Management with Android Enterprise, the complete solution has these components:
- Citrix Endpoint Management:The Citrix EMM. Endpoint Management is the unified endpoint management for a secure digital workspace. Endpoint Management provides the means for IT administrators to manage devices and apps for their organizations.
- Citrix Secure Hub:The Citrix DPC app. Secure Hub is the launchpad for Endpoint Management. Secure Hub enforces policies on the device.
- Managed Google Play:A Google enterprise app platform that integrates with Endpoint Management. The Google Play EMM API sets app policies and distributes apps.
This illustration shows how administrators interact with these components and how the components interact with each other:
Note:
You can use either managed Google Play or Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to register Citrix as your EMM provider. This article discusses using Android Enterprise with managed Google Play. If your organization uses Google Workspace to provide access to apps, you can use it with Android Enterprise. SeeLegacy Android Enterprise for Google Workspace customers.
当你使用谷歌播放管理,规定管理d Google Play Accounts for devices and end users. Managed Google Play Accounts provide access to managed Google Play, allowing users to install and use the apps you make available. If your organization uses a third-party identity service, you can link managed Google Play Accounts with your existing identity accounts.
Because this type of enterprise isn’t tied to a domain, you can create more than one enterprise for a single organization. For example, each department or region within an organization can enroll as a different enterprise. Using different enterprises lets you manage separate sets of devices and apps.
For Endpoint Management administrators, managed Google Play combines the user experience and app store features of Google Play with a set of management features designed for enterprises. You use managed Google Play to add, buy, and approve apps for deployment to the Android Enterprise workspace on a device. You can use Google Play to deploy public apps, private apps, and third-party apps.
For users of managed devices, managed Google Play is the enterprise app store. Users can browse apps, view app details, and install them. Unlike the public version of Google Play, users can only install apps from managed Google Play that you make available for them.
Device deployment scenarios and profiles
Device deployment scenarios refer to who owns the devices you deploy and how you manage them. Device profiles refer to how the DPC manages and enforces policies on devices.
A work profile isolates business accounts, apps, and data from personal accounts, apps, and data. Work profiles and personal profiles are separated at an OS level. For more details about work profiles, seeWhat is a work profile.
Important:
When Android Enterprise devices update to Android 11, Google migrates devices managed as “fully managed with a work profile” to a new security-enhanced work profile experience. The new enrollment mode is called “work profile on corporate-owned devices.” For more information, seeChanges ahead for Android Enterprise’s Fully Managed with Work Profile. For Android 12 devices, seeSecurity and privacy enhancements for work profile.
Device management | Use cases | Work profile | Personal profile | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Company-owned devices (fully managed) | Company-owned devices intended only for work use | No | No | For new or factory reset devices only. SeeProvisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices. |
Fully managed with a work profile / Work profile on corporate-owned devices | Company-owned devices intended for work and personal use | Yes | Yes. Two copies of the DPC run on these devices: One manages the device in device owner mode and the other manages the work profile in profile owner mode. You can apply separate policies to the device and the work profile. | SeeProvisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices with a work profile or work profile on corporate-owned devices. |
Dedicated devices* | Company-owned devices configured for a single use case, such as digital signage or ticket printing | No | No | SeeProvisioning dedicated Android Enterprise devices. |
BYOD work profile** | Personal devices enrolled with work profile management (also known as profile owner mode) | Yes | Yes. The DPC manages only the work profile, not the whole device. | These devices don’t need to be new or factory reset. SeeProvisioning Android Enterprise work profile devices. |
* Users can share a dedicated device. When a user signs on to an app on a dedicated device, the state of their work is with the app, not the device.
** Endpoint Management does not support Zebra devices as in BYOD work profile mode. Endpoint Management supports Zebra devices as fully managed devices using Android Enterprise.
Enrollment security
Enrollment profiles determine whether Android devices enroll in MAM, MDM, or MDM+MAM, with the option for users to opt out of MDM.
为指定secu水平的信息rity and required enrollment steps, seeUser accounts, roles, and enrollment.
Endpoint Management supports the following authentication methods for Android devices enrolled in MDM or MDM+MAM. For information, see the following articles:
- Domain or domain plus security token authentication
- Client certificate or certificate plus domain authentication
- Identity providers:
A rarely used authentication method is client certificate plus security token. For information, seehttps://support.citrix.com/article/CTX215200.
Requirements
Before you start using Android Enterprise, you need:
Accounts and credentials:
- To set up Android Enterprise with managed Google Play, a corporate Google account
- To download the latest MDX files, a Citrix customer account
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and a Connection scheduling device policy configured for Endpoint Management. SeeFirebase Cloud MessagingandConnection scheduling device policy.
Connecting Endpoint Management to Google Play
To set up Android Enterprise for your organization, register Citrix as your EMM provider through managed Google Play. That setup connects managed Google Play to Endpoint Management and creates an enterprise for Android Enterprise in Endpoint Management.
You need a corporate Google account to sign in to Google Play.
In the Endpoint Management console, go to设置> Android企业.
ClickConnect. Google Play opens.
Sign in to Google Play with your corporate Google account credentials. Enter your organization name and confirm that Citrix is your EMM provider.

Creating enrollment profiles
Enrollment profiles control how Android devices are enrolled if Android Enterprise in enabled for your Endpoint Management deployment. When you create an enrollment profile to enroll Android Enterprise devices, you can configure the enrollment profile to enroll new and factory reset devices as:
- Fully managed devices
- Dedicated devices
- Fully managed devices with a work profile/Work profile on corporate-owned devices
您还可以配置每个Android输入prise enrollment profiles to enroll BYOD Android devices as work profile devices.
If Android Enterprise is enabled for your Endpoint Management deployment, all newly enrolled or reenrolled Android devices are enrolled as Android Enterprise devices. By default, the Global enrollment profile enrolls new and factory reset Android devices as fully managed devices and enrolls BYOD Android devices as work profile on corporate-owned devices.
When you create enrollment profiles, you assign delivery groups to them. If a user belongs to multiple delivery groups that have different enrollment profiles, the name of the delivery group determines the enrollment profile used. Endpoint Management selects the delivery group that appears last in an alphabetized list of delivery groups. For more information, seeEnrollment profiles.
Add an enrollment profile for fully managed devices
The Global enrollment profile enrolls fully managed devices by default, but you can create more enrollment profiles to enroll fully managed devices.

Adding an enrollment profile for legacy devices
谷歌弃用的设备管理模式device management. Google encourages customers to manage all Android devices in device owner mode or profile owner mode. (SeeDevice admin deprecationin the Google Android Enterprise developer guides.)
To support this change:
- Citrix made Android Enterprise the default enrollment option for Android devices.
- If Android Enterprise is enabled for your Endpoint Management deployment, all newly enrolled or re-enrolled Android devices are enrolled as Android Enterprise devices.
Your organization might not be ready to begin managing legacy Android devices using Android Enterprise. In that case, you can continue to manage them in device administrator mode. For devices already enrolled in device administrator mode, Endpoint Management continues to manage them in device administrator mode.

To continue managing legacy devices in device administrator mode, enroll or re-enroll them using this profile. You enroll device administrator devices similar to work profile devices, by having users download Secure Hub and giving an enrollment server URL.
Provisioning Android Enterprise work profile devices
Android Enterprise work profile devices are enrolled in profile owner mode. These devices do not need to be new or factory reset. BYOD devices are enrolled as work profile devices. The enrollment experience is similar to Android enrollment in Endpoint Management. Users download Secure Hub from Google Play and enroll their devices.
By default, theUSB Debugging and Unknown Sourcessettings get disabled on a device when you enroll the device in Android Enterprise as a work profile device.
When enrolling devices in Android Enterprise as work profile devices, always go to Google Play. From there, enable Secure Hub to appear in the user’s personal profile.
Provisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices
You can enroll fully managed devices in the deployment you set up in the previous sections. Fully managed devices are company-owned devices and are enrolled in device owner mode. Only new or factory reset devices can be enrolled in device owner mode.
You can enroll devices in device owner mode using any of these enrollment methods:
- DPC identifier token:With this enrollment method, users enter the characters
afw#xenmobile
when setting up the device.afw#xenmobile
is the Citrix DPC identifier token. This token identifies the device as managed by Endpoint Management and downloads Secure Hub from the Google Play store. SeeEnrolling devices using the Citrix DPC identifier token. - Near field communication (NFC) bump:The NFC bump enrollment method transfers data through between two devices using near-field communication. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other communication modes are disabled on a new or factory-reset device. NFC is the only communication protocol that the device can use in this state. SeeEnrolling devices with NFC bump.
- QR code:QR code enrollment can be used to enroll a distributed fleet of devices that do not support NFC, such as tablets. The QR code enrollment method sets up and configures device profile mode by scanning a QR code from the setup wizard. SeeEnrolling devices using a QR code.
- Zero-touch:Zero-touch enrollment allows you to configure devices to enroll automatically when they’re first powered on. Zero-touch enrollment is supported on some Android devices running Android 9.0 or later. SeeZero-touch enrollment.
- Google Accounts:Users enter their Google Account credentials to start the provisioning process. This option is for enterprises using Google Workspace.

Enrolling devices with NFC bump
To enroll a device as a fully managed device using NFC bumps requires two devices: One that is reset to its factory settings and one running the Endpoint Management Provisioning Tool.
System requirements and prerequisites
- Supported Android devices.
- A new or factory-reset device with the NFC feature, provisioned for Android Enterprise as a fully managed device. See the section onProvisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices.
- Another device with the NFC feature, running the configured Provisioning Tool. The Provisioning Tool is available in Secure Hub or on theCitrix downloads page.
Each device can have only one Android Enterprise profile. In this case, the profile is for managed Secure Hub. Trying to add a second DPC app removes the installed Secure Hub.
Data transferred through the NFC bump
Provisioning a factory-reset device requires you to send the following data through an NFC bump to initialize Android Enterprise:
- Package name of the DPC app that acts as device owner (in this case, Secure Hub).
- Intranet/Internet location from which the device can download the DPC app.
- SHA-256 hash of the DPC app to verify if the download is successful.
- Wi-Fi connection details so that a factory-reset device can connect and download the DPC app. Note: Android now does not support 802.1x Wi-Fi for this step.
- Time zone for the device (optional).
- Geographic location for the device (optional).
When the two devices are bumped, the data from the Provisioning Tool is sent to the factory-reset device. That data is then used to download Secure Hub with administrator settings. If you don’t enter time zone and location values, Android automatically configures the values on the new device.
Configuring the Endpoint Management Provisioning Tool
Before doing an NFC bump, you must configure the Provisioning Tool. This configuration is then transferred to the factory-reset device during the NFC bump.
You can type data into the required fields or populate them by using a text file. The steps in the next procedure describe how to configure the text file with descriptions for each field. The app doesn’t save information after you type it, so you might want to create a text file to keep the information for future use.
To configure the Provisioning Tool by using a text file
Name the file nfcprovisioning.txt and place the file in the/sdcard/
folder on the SD card of the device. The app can then read the text file and populate the values.
The text file must have the following data:
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION=
This line is the intranet/internet location of the EMM provider app. After the factory-reset device connects to Wi-Fi following the NFC bump, the device must have access to this location for downloading. The URL is a regular URL, with no special formatting required.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM=
This line is the checksum of the EMM provider app. This checksum is used to verify that the download is successful. Steps to get the checksum are discussed later in this article.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID=
这条线是德维克的wi - fi连接名称e on which the Provisioning Tool is running.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SECURITY_TYPE=
Supported values are WEP and WPA2. If the Wi-Fi is unprotected, this field must be empty.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_PASSWORD=
If the Wi-Fi is unprotected, this field must be empty.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LOCALE=
Enter language and country codes. The language codes are two-letter lowercase ISO language codes (such as en) as defined byISO 639-1. The country codes are two-letter uppercase ISO country codes (such as US) as defined byISO 3166-1. For example, type en_US for English as spoken in the United States. If you don’t type any codes, the country and language are automatically populated.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_TIME_ZONE=
The time zone in which the device is running. Type thedatabase name of the area/location. For example, typeAmerica/Los_Angelesfor Pacific time. If you don’t type a name, the time zone automatically populates.
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_NAME=
This data isn’t required, because the value is hardcoded into the app as Secure Hub. It’s mentioned here only for the sake of completion.
If there’s Wi-Fi protected using WPA2, a completed nfcprovisioning.txt file might look like the following:
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION=https://www.somepublicurlhere.com/path/to/securehub.apk

Enrolling devices using a QR code
Users can enroll a fully managed device by using the QR code you generate for them.
System requirements
Android devices that run Android 7.0 or later.
创建一个QR code
You generate a QR code by specifying enrollment information as needed. After you generate a QR code, save the QR code locally. Endpoint Management doesn’t store it.
- Navigate to设置> Android企业QR Code.
- If needed, specify the following enrollment information:
- Server FQDN:Type the FQDN of the Endpoint Management server (for example,
example.cem.cloud.com
). This field is optional. If you leave it empty, users must populate this information when they enroll. - User name:Type the user name used to enroll. If you plan on distributing the QR code to more than one user, we recommend leaving this field empty. Configuring a QR code with a user name and password is useful for enrolling kiosk devices. If you leave the field empty, users must populate this information when they enroll.
- Password:Type the password associated with the user name you typed. If you leave the field empty, users must populate this information when they enroll.
- Skip encryption:IfOn, the device isn’t encrypted during enrollment. The default isOff.
- Enable all system apps:IfOn, allows access to all the system apps on the device. The default isOff.
- Skip user consent:IfOff, users can opt out of device management. The default isOff.
TheJSON outputbox displays the JSON content that corresponds to the information you specified.
- Server FQDN:Type the FQDN of the Endpoint Management server (for example,
- To add more enrollment information, edit the JSON content in theJSON outputbox.
- ClickGenerate QR Code. The QR code appears to the right of the JSON output.
- Right-click the QR code image and save it.
- Send the image to the users for device enrollment.
A factory-reset device scans this QR code to enroll as a fully managed device.
To enroll the device
After powering up a new or factory reset device:
- Tap the screen six times on the welcome screen to launch the QR code enrollment flow.
When prompted, connect to Wi-Fi. The download location for Secure Hub in the QR code is accessible over this Wi-Fi network.
Once the device successfully connects to Wi-Fi, it downloads a QR code reader from Google and launches the camera.
Point the camera to the QR code to scan the code.
Android downloads Secure Hub from the download location in the QR code, validates the signing certificate signature, installs Secure Hub, and sets it as the device owner.
For more information, see this Google guide for Android EMM developers:https://developers.google.com/android/work/prov-devices#qr_code_method.
Zero-touch enrollment
Zero-touch enrollment lets you set up devices to provision themselves as fully managed devices when they’re powered on for the first time.
Your device reseller creates an account for you on the Android zero-touch portal, an online tool that lets you apply configurations to devices. Using the Android zero-touch portal, create one or more zero-touch enrollment configurations and apply the configurations to the devices assigned to your account. When your users power up these devices, the devices are automatically enrolled in Endpoint Management. The configuration assigned to the device defines its automatic enrollment process.
System requirements
- Support for zero-touch enrollment begins with Android 9.0.
Devices and account information from your reseller
Devices eligible for zero-touch enrollment are bought from an enterprise reseller or Google partner. For a list of Android Enterprise zero-touch partners, see theAndroid website.
An Android Enterprise zero-touch portal account, created by your reseller.
Android Enterprise zero-touch portal account login information, provided by your reseller.
创建一个zero-touch configuration
When you create a zero-touch configuration, include a custom JSON to specify details of the configuration.
Use this JSON to configure the device to enroll on the Endpoint Management server you specify. Replace the URL of your server for ‘URL’ in this example.
{ "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": { "serverURL":"URL" } }
You can use an optional JSON with more parameters to further customize your configuration. This example specifies the Endpoint Management server and the user name and password that devices using this configuration use to log on to the server.
{ "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": { "serverURL":"URL", "xm_username":"username", "xm_password":"password" } }
Important:
To enroll devices in the work profile on corporate-owned devices mode, add
{"desiredProvisioningMode": "managedProfile"}

Provisioning dedicated Android Enterprise devices
Dedicated Android Enterprise devices are fully managed devices that are dedicated to fulfill a single use case. You restrict these devices to one app or a small set of apps required to do the tasks needed for this use case. You also prevent users from enabling other apps or doing other actions on the device.
Enroll dedicated devices using any of the enrollment methods used for other fully managed devices, as described inProvisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices. Provisioning dedicated devices require more setup before enrollment.
To provision dedicated devices:
- Add an enrollment profile for Endpoint Management administrators that you allow to enroll dedicated devices to your Endpoint Management deployment. SeeCreating enrollment profiles.
- To enable a dedicated device to access apps, add them to the allow list.
- Optionally, set the allowed app to allow lock task mode. When an app is in lock task mode, the app is pinned to the device screen when the user opens it. No Home button appears and the Back button is disabled. The user exits the app using an action programmed into the app, such as signing out.
- Enroll each device in the enrollment profile that you added.
System requirements
- Support for enrolling dedicated devices begins with Android 6.0.
Allow apps and set lock task mode
The Kiosk device policy lets you allow apps and set lock task mode. By default, Secure Hub and Google Play services are on the allow list.
To add the Kiosk policy:
In the Endpoint Management console, clickConfigure > Device Policies. TheDevice Policiespage appears.
ClickAdd. TheAdd a New Policydialog box appears.
ExpandMoreand then, under Security, clickKiosk. TheKiosk Policypage appears.
Under Platforms, selectAndroid Enterprise. Clear other platforms.
In the Policy Information pane, type thePolicy Nameand an optionalDescription.
ClickNextand then clickAdd.
To allow an app and allow or deny lock task mode for that app:
Select the app that you want to allow from the list.
ChooseAllowto set the app to be pinned to the device screen when the user starts the app. ChooseDenyto set the app not to be pinned. Default isAllow.
ClickSave.
To allow another app and allow or deny lock task mode for that app, clickAdd.
Configure deployment rules and choose delivery groups. For more information, seeDevice policies.
Provisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices with a work profile or work profile on corporate-owned devices
Devices running Android 9.0-10.x enroll as “fully managed with a work profile.” Starting with Android 11+, devices enroll as “work profile on corporate-owned devices.” All of these devices are company-owned devices that are used for both work and personal purposes. Your organization manages the entire device. You can apply one set of policies to the device and a separate set of policies to the work profile.
In the Endpoint Management console, fully managed devices with a work profile appear with these terms:
The device ownership is “Corporate”.
The device Android Enterprise install type is “Corporate Owner Personally Enabled”.
System requirements
- Support for enrolling fully managed devices with work profiles begins with Android 9.0.
To enroll the device
New and factory reset devices enroll as fully managed devices with a work profile. Those devices use any of the enrollment methods used for other fully managed devices, as described inProvisioning Android Enterprise fully managed devices. Devices running Android 11 can enroll in the work profile on corporate-owned devices mode using the QR code or zero-touch enrollment methods described in that section.
Important:
When enrolling devices in the work profile on corporate-owned devices mode using the QR code method, add the following to the JSON output, above the
serverURL
field:"desiredProvisioningMode": "managedProfile",
Devices that aren’t new or factory reset are enrolled as work profile devices as described inProvisioning Android Enterprise work profile devices.
查看Android企业设备的端点Management console
To view Android Enterprise fully managed devices, dedicated devices, and fully managed devices with a work profile:
In the Endpoint Management console, go toManage > Devices.
Add theAndroid Enterprise Enabled Device?column by clicking the menu on the right edge of the table.
To view available security actions, select a fully managed device and clickSecure. When the device is fully managed, theFull Wipeaction is available butSelective Wipeisn’t. That difference is because the device only allows apps from the managed Google Play store. There isn’t an option for the user to install applications from the public store. Your organization manages all the content on the device.
Configure Android Enterprise device and app policies
For an overview of the policies controlled at both the device and app levels, seeSupported device policies and MDX policies for Android Enterprise.
What to know about policies:
Device restrictions:Dozens of device restrictions let you control features such as:
- Use of the device camera
- Use of copy and paste between work and personal profiles
Per-app VPN:Use the Managed configurations device policy to configure VPN profiles for Android Enterprise.
Email policy:We recommend using the Managed configurations device policy to configure apps.
Device policies
This table lists all device policies available for Android Enterprise devices.
Important:
For devices that enroll in Android Enterprise and use MDX apps: You can control some settings through MDX and Android Enterprise. Use the least restrictive policy settings for MDX and control the policy through Android Enterprise.
Device policies for fully managed devices with work profile (COPE devices)
For fully managed devices with work profiles, you can use some device policies to apply separate settings to the entire device and the work profile. You can use other device policies to apply settings only to the entire device or only to the work profile of fully managed devices with work profiles. For devices enrolled in the work profile on corporate-owned devices mode, policies apply only to the work profile and not the entire device.

On work profile devices that are running versions of Android earlier than Android 9.0:
- The lock and reset password action isn’t supported.
On work profile devices with Android 9.0 or greater:
- The passcode sent locks the work profile. The device itself isn’t locked.
- If no passcode is set on the work profile:
- If no passcode is sent, or the passcode sent doesn’t meet passcode requirements: The device is locked.
- If a passcode is set on the work profile:
- If no passcode is sent, or the passcode sent doesn’t meet passcode requirements: The work profile is locked but the device itself isn’t locked.
Unenroll an Android Enterprise enterprise
If you no longer want to use your Android Enterprise enterprise, you can unenroll the enterprise.
Warning:
After you unenroll an enterprise, Android Enterprise apps on devices already enrolled through it reset to their default states. Google no longer manages the devices. If you enroll into a new Android Enterprise enterprise, you must approve apps for the new organization from managed Google Play. You can then update the apps from the Endpoint Management console.
After the Android Enterprise enterprise is unenrolled:
- Devices and users enrolled through the enterprise have the Android Enterprise apps reset to their default state. Managed configurations policies previously applied no longer affect operations.
- Endpoint Management manages devices enrolled through the enterprise. From the perspective of Google, those devices are unmanaged. You can’t add new Android Enterprise apps. You can’t apply Managed configurations policies. You can apply other policies, such as Scheduling, Password, and Restrictions, to these devices.
- If you try to enroll devices in Android Enterprise, they’re enrolled as Android devices, not Android Enterprise devices.
Unenroll an Android Enterprise enterprise using the Endpoint Management server console and Endpoint Management Tools.
当你做这个任务,打开一个端点管理Tools popup window. Before you begin, make sure that your browser has permission to open popup windows. Some browsers, such as Google Chrome, require you to disable popup blocking and add the address of the Endpoint Management site to the popup allow list.
To unenroll an Android Enterprise enterprise:
In the Endpoint Management console, click the gear icon in the upper-right corner. The Settings page appears.
On the Settings page, clickAndroid Enterprise.
ClickUnenroll.
