Activating devices and

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps

When a user activates a device with

BlackBerry UEM

, the device is associated with BlackBerry UEM so that you can manage devices, and users can access work data on their devices. Device activation types give you different degrees of control over the work and personal data on devices, ranging from full control over all data to specific control over work data only. For more information about activation types, see "Device activation" in the Administration content.

Depending on the device type and the activation type that you specify for it, the device and

BlackBerry UEM

must complete several steps during the activation process to authenticate to each other, secure a communication channel and, if needed, create a work space or encrypt the device before any configuration and work data is sent to the device. For instructions to activate devices, see "Steps to activate devices" in the Administration content.

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps provide access to work resources on the device. After

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps are installed on a device, they must also be activated to allow them to securely access your work resources. For more information about activating

BlackBerry Dynamics

, see "Generate access keys, activation passwords, or QR codes for BlackBerry Dynamics apps" in the Administration content.
