In today's mobile-driven world, organisations need efficient and secure ways to manage employee devices. Apple's Account-Driven Enrollment (ADE) offers a streamlined solution, allowing users to enroll their personal devices in mobile device management (MDM) using their existing Managed Apple IDs. This article explores the benefits of ADE and guides you through the steps of configuring it with Azure Active Directory (AD) and Jamf Pro.
Benefits of Account-Driven Enrollment:
- Simplified User Experience: Users can enroll their devices using familiar credentials, eliminating the need for dedicated enrollment profiles.
- Reduced IT Overhead: Organisations no longer need to create and manage individual enrollment profiles for each user.
- Enhanced Security: Federated authentication provides an additional layer of security, leveraging existing user credentials.
- Improved BYOD Support: ADE facilitates BYOD programs by allowing users to enroll their personal devices for work purposes.
