Activating the GravityZone MTD
The onboarding process for the GravityZone MTD on all devices can be completed either by using an activation link or by logging in with a domain name.
Note
Android devices require the Location - While using the app or Location - Allow all the time permission to mitigate certain network threats, such as Unsecured WiFi. The permissions option's verbiage depends on your device.
On-Boarding with Activation Links and QR Codes
There are two ways in which you can activate the GravityZone MTD.
The activation link - a URL that initiates the activation process for one or more devices.
The QR code - an image representation of an activation URL, serving an identical purpose, that can also initiate the activation of one or more devices.
Users can receive the activation link and QR code from a local device group. The hyperlink triggers the activation of the GravityZone MTD on a specified quantity of devices. The process facilitates the dissemination of the link and QR code to individual users.
On-Boarding with Domain Name
Customers have the option to input their domain name, such as "example.com," when starting Mobile Security. Customers with integration to a supported identity provider can utilize domain-based logins. If the GravityZone MTD has knowledge of the domain name, activation will be initiated using the single sign-on activation flow.
