QR code

This document outlines the QR code enrollment process for both administrators generating the code and users enrolling their devices.

The QR code provisioning method streamlines corporate-owned Android device enrollment through a simple scan. The QR code contains enrollment settings, automatic enrollment credentials, and wifi payload. This method eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces manual errors. You can download and share the QR code to allow users to self-enroll their devices.
Note: Supported only on Android 7+ devices.
