Create a shared device group

When you create a shared device group, a local user account is created. This local user account owns the shared device group.

    Dedicated devices > Shared device groups
    .
  2. Click The Add icon.
  3. Type a name and a description for the shared device group.
  4. Type the username for device activation.
  5. To require users to accept terms of service when they check out a shared device, select
    Enable terms of service
     and specify the terms of the service.
  6. For each user that you want to add to the group, in the
    Granted users
     section, search for and click the user.
    Users can belong to multiple shared device groups.
  7. To assign an app or app group, in the
    Assigned apps
     section, click The Add icon and do the following:
    1. Search for and select the app that you want to assign to the group.
    2. Click
      Next
      .
    3. For
      iOS
       or
      Android
       apps, to require users to follow the actions defined for apps in the compliance profile assigned to them, in the
      Disposition
       drop-down list, select
      Required
      .
      If the app group supports
      Android Enterprise
      , the disposition can be set to
      Required
       only.
    4. To allow users to install and uninstall the app, in the
      Disposition
       drop-down list, select
      Optional
      .

      iOS
       devices, to assign per-app VPN settings to an app or app group, in the
      Per app VPN
       drop-down list, select the settings to associate with the app or app group.
    6. If available, for
      iOS
       and
      Android
       devices, select an app configuration to assign to the app.
    7. If you use
      Android Enterprise
       and have created tracks for apps in the
      Google Play
       console, select a track to assign to the app.
    8. Click
      Assign
      .
      You can't add
      BlackBerry Dynamics
       apps to device groups because entitlements can only be granted to users. Any
      BlackBerry Dynamics
       apps included in app groups that you add to device groups will not be assigned to users.
      If your environment supports
      Android Enterprise
      , you can't add
      Android
       apps that have an optional disposition to device groups.
      Google Play for Work
       can assign apps only to
      Google
       User IDs, not to device IDs. If you add
      Android
       apps that have a required disposition to a device group, the apps will be installed, but the apps will not be listed in
      Google Play for Work
      .
