CapaOne Android has now become part of CapaOne. The development department has created an easy-to-use Android MDM solution that all sizes of companies can use to manage their Android devices, including configuring devices, installing apps, and managing device security. All of this can be tied to one or more groups, making it easier to mass distribute applications and configurations.

CapaOne Android is based on Google’s Android Enterprise platform, making it compatible with most Android devices.

You can also integrate Azure to synchronize your users with the CapaOne Portal and link them to a device. If Azure integration is set up, you can use Microsoft Authentication in the enrollment configuration, automatically connecting the user who logs onto the device during Enrollment.

Q: Can I choose what installation type my applications should be?

A: You can choose between the following:

  • Force Installed. It can’t be removed: The IT administrator can only remove the application via CapaOne Android.
  • PreInstalled. It can be removed: When you choose “PreInstalled,” the application is installed on the device if the user has not previously deleted the application from the device. If so, the application will be available for download in the Play Store.
  • Blocked from installation: This application is blocked from installation. It can also be used for personal configuration, where you block apps.
  • Available in-store: The application is available in the Play Store.
  • Required for setup: Must be used to set up/enroll the device. If it fails, the device will not be enrolled.
  • Automatically installed in KIOSK mode: When this application is installed on the device, it automatically locks in KIOSK mode.

Q: Can I enroll my KNOX and Zero Touch devices?

A: You can enroll KNOX and Zero Touch devices in CapaOne Android. CapaOne Android supports Android Enterprise and KNOX Mobile Enrollment (KME) devices. That means you can enroll any Android device compatible with either of these platforms in CapaOne Android.

To enroll a KNOX or Zero Touch device in CapaOne Android, you must create an enrollment configuration in the CapaOne Portal. Once you have created the enrollment configuration with the desired settings, choose view, select the KNOX or Zero-Touch tab, and follow the guide.

The solution

Android Device Policy is part of Android Enterprise and is used for CapaOne Android. It allows administrators to enforce security policies, manage device settings, and ensure compliance with organizational rules on Android devices used for work purposes.

Here are some key features of the Android Device Policy:

  • Device Management: Allows IT administrators to manage and monitor Android devices enrolled in the company’s management system. That includes deleting devices and applying security updates, among other things
  • Security Policies: Enforces security measures on devices such as setting screen lock requirements, encrypting data, and applying password policies.
  • Application Management: Controls app installations and permissions on managed devices to ensure that only approved apps can be installed or used.
  • Work Profile: With the introduction of Android Work Profile, users can have a separate secure area on their personal or work devices dedicated to work-related apps and data, ensuring a clear separation between personal and work-related content.

You still need to create an Android Enterprise account and link it to CapaOne Android, this must be done first. Then create an enrollment configuration, after which Enrollment can begin on the company’s Android devices via QR code, Token, KNOX, or Zero-Touch. (The enrollment configuration can subsequently be edited to point to one or more groups, configurations, or applications.)

Next, create the applications and configurations you want and test them on one or more devices to ensure that it works as you wish. Then everything can be linked to a group, after which the group can subsequently be linked to your enrollment configuration.
