We recommend that you assign at least one user to a mobile device. If you want to use personalized policies on iOS a user must be assigned to a device. We recommend that you specify a Device name in each entry when using the Import CSV method. This is the device name shown in the Computers section. If you leave the Device name field empty, email address will be used instead and appear as Device name in Computers and Groups. This may cause some confusion, especially in the event you use the same email address to enroll multiple devices. This email address will appear multiple times and prevent you from being able to distinguish between the devices. |
