The DPC enforces policies on an Android device and when it acts as the device owner, it manages the entire device.
As device owner, the DPC can perform device-wide actions, such as configure device-wide connectivity, configure global settings, and perform a factory reset. BYOD deployments are supported by the profile owner mode of operation. Through the DPC, the enterprise enables personal devices for work use by adding a work profile to the primary user account on the device. The work profile is associated with the primary user, but as a separate profile.
As profile owner, the DPC manages only the work profile on the device and has limited control outside of the work profile. Legacy device deployments are supported by the legacy mode of operation, which allows the DPC limited control of a device such as the ability to wipe a device, require a pass code, or enforce some policies.
You can provide app management on legacy devices through Google Play by allowing the user to add a Google Account or by having your DPC add a managed Google Play Account to the legacy device. Legacy mode is discouraged for deployments where you can implement device owner mode or profile owner mode. You must provision the device owner mode of operation during the initial setup of a new device or after a factory reset.
Device owner mode can't be provisioned on a device at any other time. Depending on the use case, there are 2 main types of provisioning methods for provisioning device owner mode. The recommended method to provision the profile owner mode of operation depends on whether the organization uses G Suite. The traditional method, where the user is instructed to manually install the DPC , is also supported.
It relies on the user to download your DPC from Google Play and install it, and then the DPC guides the user through the rest of the process to set up the profile owner. Legacy devices run Android versions earlier than 5. The recommended method to provision a legacy device depends on whether the organization uses managed Google Accounts. It relies on the user to download your DPC from Google Play and install it, and then the DPC guides the user through the rest of the process to set up.
These are typically devices that have a low amount of RAM. Here are some things to consider as you write your DPC , regardless of which mode of operation you implement. Because attempting to update Google Play services causes serious disruptions in the device setup process, your DPC must not attempt to update Google Play services before device provisioning is complete.
Here are some things to consider as you write your DPC to implement the profile owner mode of operation. When provisioning the profile owner mode of operation, the DPC starts running in the personal profile and initiates the process to create a work profile.
Once the work profile is created, the DPC is also running inside the work profile. The DPC in the work profile completes the provisioning process. At that point, the DPC in the personal profile should disable itself or the device user should remove it. Here are some things to consider as you write your DPC to implement the device owner mode of operation.
Device owner mode gives the DPC complete control over a device. If provisioning device owner mode after initial setup were allowed:. You can verify this by detecting a unique device identifier such as a serial number , or by using a dedicated set of accounts that are authorized for device enrollment through your EMM policy.
For example, you could prompt the device user to confirm or take some affirmative action before provisioning device owner mode. When the DPC provisions a work profile, any system apps without launcher icons are assumed to be critical to the device and are automatically allowed to run in the work profile.
System apps that have launcher icons are considered to be optional, and you can decide whether to enable them. If you want users to see system apps as soon as they start using their devices, enable system apps as part of the device provisioning process.
There are a few ways to identify the system apps you want to enable and present in your EMM console to IT admins. In this method, each device determines which apps are on the device and sends this data back to the EMM console. The EMM console dynamically displays this data when creating device policy, which allows the IT admin to manage apps on a per-app basis.
Here are some things to consider as you write your DPC to implement the legacy mode of operation. You can use Test DPC to:. While Test DPC is intended primarily as a vehicle to test your enterprise solution for Android, you can also use it as a source of sample code for Android features. During device provisioning, the system user interface shows a default color in the status bar and a default logo at the top of the screen.
Set custom colors and logos to provide a consistent visual transition between your DPC and the system interface, or allow admins to do so using your EMM console. For example, an admin might upload a company logo or customize the look of screens that show notifications. To see how the integers are represented, see Color. For example:. Specify your sign-in URL in enterprises.
Alternatively, you can provide the signinEnrollmentToken to users directly. Your sign-in URL should prompt users to enter their credentials.
Based on their identity, you can determine the appropriate policy. Call enrollmentTokens. This method requires you to create an NFC programmer app that contains the enrollment token, initial policies and Wi-Fi configuration, settings, and all other provisioning details required by your customer to provision a fully managed or dedicated device.
When you or your customer installs the NFC programmer app on an Android device, that device becomes the programmer device. The site also includes sample code of the default parameters pushed to a device on an NFC bump. To install Android Device Policy, set the download location of the device admin package to:. Devices purchased from an authorized zero-touch reseller are eligible for zero-touch enrollment, a streamlined method for preconfiguring devices to provision themselves automatically on first boot.
Organizations can create configurations containing provisioning details for their zero-touch devices, either through the zero-touch enrollment portal or using your EMM console see the zero-touch customer API. On first boot, a zero-touch device checks if it's been assigned a configuration. If so, the device downloads Android Device Policy, which then completes setup of the device using the provisioning extras specified in its assigned configuration.
Detailed instructions on how to use the portal, including how to create and assign configurations to devices, are available in the Android Enterprise help center. If you prefer your customers to set and assign configurations directly from your EMM console, you need to integrate with the zero-touch customer API.
When creating a configuration , you specify provisioning extras in the dpcExtras field. The JSON snippet below shows a basic example of what to include in dpcExtras , with an added sign-in token. In policies , you can specify one app for Android Device Policy to launch during device or work profile setup. To launch an app during setup:. If the app can't be installed or launched on the device, provisioning will fail. Add the app's package name to setupActions.
Use title and description to specify user-facing instructions. To distinguish that an app is launched from launchApp , the activity that's first launched as part of the app contains the boolean intent extra com. This extra allows you to customize your app based on whether it's launched from setupActions or by a user.
The method you use to apply policies to newly enrolled devices is up to you and the requirements of your customers. Here we present three different approaches:. Recommended When creating an enrollment token , you can specify the name of the policy policyName that will be initially linked to the device. Device user can only see those applications which have been provisioned to them by their administrator. Device user can uninstall previously installed applications.
Depending on the EMM and configuration, the device user may be blocked from uninstalling applications. How an application is configured depends on how that application is written. All apps in the Play Store are public As well as all the public Play Store applications, organizations or 3rd party developers can also choose to distribute private applications which will not be available to devices outside of their organization.
As an entry to this concept I recommend Google's blog on " distributing private enterprise apps with Google Play ". Apps can support bulk licenses which are handled by the managed Play Store administrator. Exposes a number of device settings via the UI for example auto-update apps Also exposes those same device settings via the UI. Google developed system apps e.
Maps cannot be uninstalled. Depending on the EMM, it is possible for Google developed system apps e. Maps to be uninstalled using the server UI and so will not be available to the user. There are some exceptions to this e. Contacts and the managed Play Store itself. The table below compares a standard Google account with a managed Play account Standard Google Account Managed Play Account Managed by Google, typically though not necessarily ending with gmail.
It also offers movies, books, and music, although not all of them are available in every country. These include downloading content, adding a payment method, redeeming a gift card, and much more. This can either be a specific app like Android Authority or a category like racing games.
Just tap the search box on top, type in the search query, and hit the search button to see the results. You can also search by category. Once you find something you like, tap on it to bring up additional info. This includes the description of the item, the app rating, screenshots, videos, and, of course, the Install button.
Tap on it and wait for the device to do its magic. To buy an app, movie, game, or any other piece of content via the Play Store, you have to add a credit or debit card to your account. The process is simple and only takes a minute or two. The first step is to launch the Play Store app and tap on your profile in the top right corner. The last step is to follow on-screen instructions by entering the required details.
To turn it on, open the side menu, tap on Settings, choose the Authentication submenu, and select one option. Enabling the Biometric authentication option is also a good idea. To do so, launch the Google Play Store app and bring up the settings menu by tapping on your profile picture.
