    Task

    Steps

    Assign an IT policy or profile to a shared iPad group.
    1. In the Assigned IT policy and profiles section, click The Add icon.

    3. In the drop-down list, click the name of the IT policy or profile that you want to assign.
    4. Click Assign or Replace.

    Assign an app to a shared iPad group.

    You can't add BlackBerry Dynamics apps to shared iPad groups because entitlements can be granted to users only. Any BlackBerry Dynamics apps included in app groups that you add to shared iPad groups will not be assigned to users. Only app store VPP or internal iOS apps are supported, as well as iOS app shortcuts. Non-VPP store apps are not supported.

    1. In the Assigned apps section, click The Add icon. Search for and select the app or app group that you want to assign.
    2. Click Next.
    3. In the Disposition drop-down list, select one of the following:
      • Required: Install the app automatically on devices and prevent users from uninstalling the app.
      • Optional: Allow users to install and uninstall the app.
    4. If you are assigning an Apple VPP app, and you set the Disposition to required or optional, in the Update Mode drop-down list, click the appropriate option:
      • Default: When a new version of the app is available, it will be pushed to devices automatically.
      • Postpone: When a new version of the app is available, it will not be pushed to devices automatically.
    5. To assign per-app VPN settings to an app or an app group, in the Per app VPN drop-down list, select the settings to associate with the app or app group.
    6. If you assign an iOS or OS X app, choose the appropriate value in the Target drop-down list:
      • Work: The app is installed as a work app that you manage with UEM.
      • Personal:
        • If it is not a VPP app, the app is managed by UEM and a “personal” label is associated with the assigned app in the management console. The personal label does not impact how the app is managed on devices.
        • If it is a VPP app with the Disposition set to Optional, the user will be redirected to the App Store to install the app as unmanaged. Unmanaged apps cannot be removed from devices by UEM and are not subject to UEM controls such as IT policy rules. When you set the app assignment as Optional and Personal, you are prompted to assign the appropriate VPP user license to devices so it can be treated as an unmanaged app. You must set “Assign license to” to “User” to make it an unmanaged app.
    7. If available, in the App configuration drop-down list, click the app configuration that you want to assign to the app.
    8. Assign a VPP app license to the device for each app.
    9. Click Assign.
