You can enroll iOS and iPadOS devices in the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and assign enrollment configurations to devices using the BlackBerry UEM management console. The enrollment configurations include extra rules that are assigned to devices during MDM enrollment.

You can use an Apple Business account to synchronize UEM with DEP. Apple Business is a web-based portal that allows you to enroll and manage iOS devices in DEP and manage Apple VPP accounts.

To activate devices that are enrolled in DEP, perform the following actions:

Step	Action
	Register iOS devices in DEP and assign them to the BlackBerry UEM server.
	Assign a DEP enrollment configuration.
	Optionally, to add the BlackBerry UEM Client to the app list and assign it to user accounts or user groups, see Add an iOS app to the app list.
	If you do not want to use the default activation profile, create an activation profile and assign it to DEP devices (Users > Apple DEP Devices).
	Choose how you want users to activate their devices: Send an activation email to multiple users or send an activation email to a specific user using the Apple DEP email template. If you connected UEM to your company directory, users can use their company directory usernames and passwords. Users must enter their usernames in the format domain\username (the credentials match your organization's domain and username variables (“%UserDomain%\%UserName%”). You can Assign a user to an iOS device. When you assign a user to the device in UEM, they are not prompted for a username or password during device activation.
	Distribute devices to users and have them complete the activation. If you want to support features that require the UEM Client, instruct users to install and open the UEM Client.
