Create an Access Point Name profile for Android devices

An access point name specifies the information that a mobile device needs to connect to a carrier's network. You can use one or more Access Point Name profiles to send access point names for carriers to your users' Android devices. Access Point Name profiles are supported by devices with Work space only activations or with Work and personal - full control activations.

Devices usually have access point names preset for common carriers. Users can also add new access point names to a device. If you want to force a device to use an access point name sent to it by an Access Point Name profile, enable the "Force device to use Access Point Name profile settings" rule in the assigned IT policy.

Obtain all of the necessary APN settings from your carrier.
  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles > Networks and connections > Access Point Name.
  2. Click The Add icon.
  3. Type a name and description for the profile. This information is displayed on devices.
  4. In the Access Point Name field, type the access point name.
  5. Specify the values that match the carrier's specifications for each profile setting.
    For more information, see Access Point Name profile settings.
  6. Click Save.
Assign the Access Point Name profile to user accounts, user groups, or device groups.
