Limit BBM Enterprise activation to devices managed by UEM

You can use an app configuration and a BBM Enterprise profile to require that users' devices must be managed by a BlackBerry UEM server when they activate the app in the work space on their devices. When you limit activation to devices managed by UEM, users must authenticate with the UEM tenant during activation instead of using their BlackBerry ID.
