Set up QR code enrollment

You must configure the settings that are required to create the QR code and to enroll the device.

Requirements

  • You’ve created a task bundle for QR code enrollment. The task bundle must have an Assign policy task for an Android Enterprise device policy and must not have an Enroll task.
  • You’ve registered your organization with Android Enterprise in Better Together Enterprise or Managed Google Play Account mode. See Registration modes.

You can create different QR codes for user-assigned and user-less devices.

User-less devices are Android Enterprise fully managed devices that you don’t connect to an email account during enrollment. For details on user-less Android devices, see User-less Android devices.

Select the tab for the enrollment method you want to set up.

To set up QR code enrollment, do as follows:

  1. On the menu sidebar, select Setup > Google setup, and then select the QR code enrollment tab.
  2. Select Configure Android Enterprise QR code enrollment.

  3. Under Configure QR code, configure the settings for the device setup:

    • Enable system apps: On Android Enterprise fully managed devices, system apps with a launcher icon are disabled by default. Select this setting to keep all system apps enabled.
    • Language: The language of the Android user interface.
    • Wi-Fi settings: Select the security type of the Wi-Fi connection or select Don’t configure Wi-Fi to configure no network in the QR code. In this case, users must manually connect to a Wi-Fi network when they set up the device.
    • Wi-Fi SSID: The ID of the Wi-Fi network.
    • SSID is hidden: Select this if the Wi-Fi network is hidden.
    • Wi-Fi password: The password for the Wi-Fi network.

    Devices will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network if it’s available.

  4. Under Configure enrollment, configure how Sophos Mobile manages the device:

    • Task bundle: The task bundle transferred to the device.
    • Device group: The device group devices are assigned to.

  5. Optionally, click Print to print the QR code. This lets you enroll devices when you don’t have access to Sophos Mobile Admin.

To set up QR code enrollment for user-less devices, do as follows:

  1. On the menu sidebar, select Setup > Google setup, and then select the QR code enrollment (user-less) tab.
  2. Select Configure Android Enterprise QR code enrollment for user-less devices.

  3. Under Configure QR code, configure the settings for the device setup:

    • Enable system apps: On Android Enterprise fully managed devices, system apps with a launcher icon are disabled by default. Select this setting to keep all system apps enabled.
    • Language: The language of the Android user interface.
    • Wi-Fi settings: Select the security type of the Wi-Fi connection or select Don’t configure Wi-Fi to configure no network in the QR code. In this case, users must manually connect to a Wi-Fi network when they set up the device.
    • Wi-Fi SSID: The ID of the Wi-Fi network.
    • SSID is hidden: Select this if the Wi-Fi network is hidden.
    • Wi-Fi password: The password for the Wi-Fi network.

    Devices will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network if it’s available.

  4. Under Configure enrollment, configure how Sophos Mobile manages the device:

    • Task bundle: The task bundle transferred to the device.
    • Device group: The device group devices are assigned to.

  5. Optionally, click Print to print the QR code. This lets you enroll devices when you don’t have access to Sophos Mobile Admin.

You can enroll all devices with the same QR code.

You can revoke the QR code to prevent future enrollments. The code is also revoked when you create a new one.
