How to check if an app support managed configuration feature

From the reference Apps that support app configuration | Microsoft, it shows how to check whether an app supports configuration settings:

For developers, please read the guideline below:

The available configuration parameters and the implementation of the configuration parameters are decided by the developers of the application. Documentation from the application vendor should be reviewed to see what configurations are available and how the configurations influence the behavior of the application. For some applications, Intune will populate the available configuration settings.

Auto-enrollment will be only successful if the OPSWAT Mobile App is deployed via Microsoft Intune Admin Center + Company Portal App Installed on Client Device. The precondition is that user’s device doesn’t have out app at that time.

Recommendations

  • After successfully auto-enrollment, user should not manually unregister device. We will have an enhancement for this in the next release.
  • Admin need to config with correct information (Registration Code, Server Address, Group Id (if group_id invalid → Device will register with Default’s group))

Download & setup Company Portal App

  1. Go to Play Store
  2. Download Company Portal app (Microsoft)
  3. Login Microsoft account
  4. Setup add work profile
  5. Auto-enrollment will be active
  6. OPSWAT Mobile App will automatically download to devices and auto register device
