US 2019/0158476 A1 · ADAPTIVE DEVICE ENROLLMENT

Abstract

Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically determining enrollment requirements and enrolling a user device into a management system. The systems and methods can differ based on the type and version of operating system executing on the user device. With some operating systems, enrollment can be completed through a single application that performs other functionality, such providing single-sign-on access to enterprise resources. With other operating systems, enrollment can be completed by pausing the first application and requiring installation of an agent application to complete enrollment. The determination of how and when to enroll a user device can be done automatically and can be based on an organizational group to which the user belongs.

Dependent claims

A method for determining enrollment requirements for enrolling a user into a management system, comprising:

receiving, at a portal application installed on the user device, an identification of an organizational group to which the user belongs, wherein the portal application stores a user's credentials and displays icons corresponding to a plurality of applications available to the user, and wherein the portal application provides access to a selected application of the plurality of applications by authenticating the user to the selected application;
receiving a determination as to whether the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system;
and
if the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system, requesting enrollment by the portal application.

1 more element

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform stages for enrolling a user device with a management system using a portal application, the stages comprising:

receiving, at the portal application installed on the user device, an identification of an organizational group to which the user belongs, wherein the portal application stores a user's credentials and displays icons corresponding to a plurality of applications available to the user, and wherein the portal application provides access to a selected application of the plurality of applications by authenticating the user to the selected application;
receiving a determination as to whether the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system;
and
if the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system, requesting enrollment by the portal application.

1 more element

A system for enrolling a user device with a management system using a portal application, comprising:

a management server having a processor, display, and memory storage;
wherein the memory storage contains a non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, carry out stages comprising:
receiving, at the portal application installed on the user device, an identification of an organizational group to which the user belongs, wherein the portal application stores a user's credentials and displays icons corresponding to a plurality of applications available to the user, and wherein the portal application provides access to a selected application of the plurality of applications by authenticating the user to the selected application;
receiving a determination as to whether the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system;
and
if the identified organizational group enables the portal application to enroll with the management system, requesting enrollment by the portal application.
