Set owner information on a device

You can specify the owner information that appears on the screen of a BlackBerry 10 device when it is locked. You cannot set the owner information on a BlackBerry PlayBook.

  1. To open the command window for the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 User Administration Tool, on the computer that hosts the tool, on the taskbar, click Start > All Programs > BlackBerry Resource Kit for BlackBerry Device Service > BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 User Administration Tool.
  2. Type besuseradminclient <credentials> -set_owner_info -u <user_name> .
  3. Perform any of the following actions:
    • To specify the owner name to display, type -name "<name>".
    • To specify a single line of text, type -info "<owner_information>".
    • To specify multiple lines of text using an input file, type -infofile <filename> .

Example: Setting owner information on a device

besuseradminclient -username admin -password password -set_owner_info -name "Julie Palmer" -info "Building A, Smith Drive" -u jpalmer@test.rim.net

The text file userinformation.txt contains the following information:

Julie Palmer
Building 7, Smith Drive
Desk phone: (515) 123-4567
Mobile phone: (414) 765-4321

Then type the following command:

besuseradminclient -username admin -password password -set_owner_info -infofile userinformation.txt -u jpalmer@test.rim.net
