Restriction

You can’t configure Intercept X for Mobile app enrollment if you’ve configured Intune Mobile Threat Defense as described in Set up Mobile Threat Defense.

Based on your configuration, Sophos Mobile creates a connection code. You need the connection code to enroll Intercept X for Mobile on devices managed with third-party Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) software or any Android device, iPhone, or iPad you want to manage with Sophos Mobile.
