Managed configuration placeholders

You can use the $USERNAME and $EMAILADDRESS placeholders in the managed configuration of apps from managed Google Play. Sophos Mobile replaces these placeholders with the username and email address when assigning the settings to a device. On user-less devices, Sophos Mobile replaces the placeholders with an empty string.

You can use the placeholders in any text field of the managed configuration.

Configure email placeholder

For the $EMAILADDRESS placeholder, you can configure whether Sophos Mobile uses the email address configured on the device or in Sophos Central.

To do this, do as follows:

1. In Sophos Central, go to My Products > Mobile.
2. Go to Setup > Google setup, then click the Android Enterprise tab.

3. Under Email placeholder, take one of the following actions:

   • Select Use the assigned user's email address to replace $EMAILADDRESS with the email address of the user assigned to the device in Sophos Mobile.

     When the user changes, installed apps update the email address the next time the device synchronizes with Sophos Mobile.

   • Clear Use the assigned user's email address to replace $EMAILADDRESS with the email address used for enrolling the device with Sophos Mobile.

4. Click Save.
