How to Automatically Approve Newly Enrolled Devices in SureMDM Console?

If you are enrolling and approving multiple devices in your MDM, the process of manually approving each of those devices can be time-consuming.

SureMDM makes it easy by allowing importing of a list with pre-approved device details. Once this list is imported in SureMDM, whenever a new device is enrolled, SureMDM checks the pre-approved list and approves the device automatically if listed.

To create this setup, below are three steps to be followed:

1. Creating a pre-approved list with device details

2. Importing the file with the list of pre-approved devices in SureMDM

3. Configuring SureMDM Agent


STEP 1:

To create a pre-approved list follow the below-mentioned steps:

1. Log into SureMDM web console and navigate to the Pre-approved Section of the console.

2. Click Download Preapprove Template to download the format to pre-approve the devices.

3. Open the format in NotePad and edit the following details.

  • Device Name
  • Hardware Address(IMEI or Mac or SerialNumber or AppleID)
  • Hardware Address Type
  • Group Path
  • Device Notes
  • Device Tag
  • Phone Number
  • Email Id

4. Once done, save the file in .csv format

STEP 2:

To import the pre-approved list of devices in SureMDM Web Console, follow the below-mentioned steps:

1. Log into SureMDM Web Console

2. On SureMDM Home, click on the Preapproved option under home

3. On the Preapproved screen, click on Import
