To manage a device from Bushel, it must first be added to your Bushel. The technical whiz-bang name for that process is Enrollment. We currently provide 3 ways to enroll devices into your Bushel. All three are available on the Enrollment page when you’re logged into Bushel.
The first and best way to enroll devices into your Bushel is an Apple program called the Device Enrollment Program, or DEP for short. DEP is a way of tying devices to your Bushel so that they cannot be removed from the device, even if the device is wiped. Other than through DEP, all enrollment into your Bushel is optional on the devices and so devices can be unenrolled at will. DEP requires an actual DEP account with Apple, which you can sign up for at https://deploy.apple.com/qforms/open/register/index/avs.
The second way to enroll devices into your Bushel is via Open Enrollment. When you Configure Open Enrollment you create a link that allows your users to enroll without logging into the portal. Simply open Open Enrollment from the Enrollment page and click Enable. Once enabled, you’ll see the URL to enroll devices.
The third way to enroll devices is manually. Simply log into your Bushel, click on Enrollment and then click on the Enroll button for Enroll This Device. When prompted for “Who will this device belong to?” enter the username (e.g. the user’s name in front of their email address most likely or the username for your email system if it’s something different than that). Also provide the email address itself in the Email Address field and then click Enroll This Device. Now, if you want to enroll the device you’re using, simply complete the screen prompts for the profile installation and you’ll be good to go. Or, you can save the mobileconfig file that’s downloaded and send it to others in order to allow them to install it as well. Simply cancel the installation process (most easily done from a Mac) and distribute the Enroll.mobileconfig file as needed. You can also put a user’s name in front of the file name, so you know which will enroll each user. If you need to enroll 3 or 4 people in other countries or cities, this might be the best option!
OK, so we basically gave 4 ways to enroll. But that’s because we’re trying to make it as easy as possible to enroll devices into your Bushel.
