More mobile device management functionality for Google Apps
Monday, November 14, 2011
Google Apps Mobile Management is a set of device management controls integrated into the Google Apps control panel. It covers Android and Google Sync devices, which include iOS, Windows Phone, and other smartphones and tablets using Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®.
With Mobile Management, you can manage your mobile fleet with the following features:
- Granular policies: Configure mobile settings at the organizational unit level
- Device activation: Control what devices can connect to your users' Google Apps data
- Device console: View all mobile devices in your domain connecting with Google Sync or Android Sync.
In addition to these mobile settings, you can view graphs about mobile usage and see mobile trends in your organization in the Reports tab of your control panel.
Editions included:
Google Apps for Business, Government and Education
Languages included:
US English Only (Next Generation Control Panel)
How to access what's new:
Mobile Management is in the administrator control panel under ‘Settings’ -> ‘Mobile'
Note: Android devices need to have the Google Apps Device Policy app installed to show up under the Devices tab. Send this sample email to your users instructing them to download the Device Policy app before you check 'Enforce policies on Android devices' or 'Enable device activation.'
- Devices not supported: BlackBerry devices and devices connecting via IMAP or POP because these do not use Google Sync (Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®) or Android Sync.
- Users who can already sync with your Google Apps domain will still be able to sync with your Google Apps domain. After November 14, new Android users will need to install Device Policy if you enforce device policies or enable activation.
- Administrators can audit mobile apps installed on Android devices that access Google Apps data (see the Devices tab), but cannot audit mobile apps on other operating systems like iOS and Windows Phone.
