Creating activation profiles

You can control how devices are activated and managed using activation profiles. An activation profile specifies how many and what types of devices a user can activate and the type of activation to use for each device type.
The activation type allows you to configure how much control you have over activated devices. You might want complete control over a device that you issue to a user. You might want to make sure that you have no control over the personal data on a device that a user owns and brings to work.
The assigned activation profile applies only to devices the user activates after you assign the profile. Devices that are already activated are not automatically updated to match the new or updated activation profile.
When you add a user to
BlackBerry UEM
, the Default activation profile is assigned to the user account. You can change the Default activation profile to suit your requirements, or you can create a custom activation profile and assign it to users or user groups.
