Activate a shared iPad device

  • Create a shared iPad group. Optionally, Create a shared iPad profile.
  • Create a DEP configuration with the "Enable Shared iPad mode" option selected and assign it to a DEP activated iPad device.
  • Wipe the iPad device.
  • Installing the BlackBerry UEM Client on shared iPad devices is optional and not required for DEP activation. Note that the UEM Client is not required on shared iPad devices to support BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus.
  • Shared iPad devices do not support BlackBerry Dynamics apps. If you do choose to install the UEM Client on shared iPad devices, you must verify that the Enable UEM Client to enroll in BlackBerry Dynamics option is not selected in the assigned BlackBerry Dynamics profile. Verify that the same profile is also assigned to the user account that owns the shared iPad group.
