Mobile devices
To manage the security of mobile devices used in your company, first you have to link them to specific users in Control Center, then install and activate the GravityZone Mobile Client application on each of them.
Mobile devices can be enterprise-owned or personally-owned. You can install and activate GravityZone Mobile Client on each mobile device, then hand it to the corresponding user. Users can also install and activate GravityZone Mobile Client by themselves, following the instructions received by email. For more information, refer to Install mobile devices protection.
To view the mobile devices of users under your account, go to the Network section and choose Mobile Devices from the service selector. The Network page displays the available user groups in the left-side pane and the corresponding users and devices in the right-side pane.

You can switch the right-side pane view to Users or to Devices using the View tab from the Filters menu located at the upper side of the table. The Users view allows you to manage users in Control Center, such as adding users and mobile devices and checking the number of devices for each user. Use the Devices view to easily manage and check the details of each mobile device in the Control Center.
Adding custom users
If integration with Active Directory has been configured, you can add mobile devices to existing Active Directory users.
In non-Active Directory situations, you must first create custom users in order to have a mean to identify the owners of mobile devices.
There are two ways to create custom users. You can either add them one at a time or import a CSV file.
To add a custom user:

Specify the required user details:
A suggestive username (for example, the user's full name)
User's email address
Important
Make sure to provide a valid email address. The user will be sent the installation instructions by email when you add a device.
Each email address can only be associated with one user.
Click OK.
To import mobile device users:
Go to the Network page.
Choose Mobile Devices from the service selector.
Click the Filters menu at the upper side of the table and go to the View tab. Make sure that the Users option is selected.
In the left-side pane, select Custom Groups.
Click Import users. A new window opens.
Select the CSV file and click Import. The window closes and the table is populated with the imported users.

If any errors occur, a message is displayed and the table is populated only with the valid users. Existing users are skipped.
You can afterwards create user groups under Custom Groups.
The policy and tasks assigned to a user will apply to all devices owned by the corresponding user.
Adding mobile devices to users
A user may have an unlimited number of mobile devices. You can add devices to one or multiple users, but only one device per user at a time.
Adding a device to a single user
To add a device to a specific user:
Go to the Network page.
Choose Mobile Devices from the views selector.
Locate the user in the Active Directory group or in Custom Groups and select the corresponding check box in the right-side pane.
Note
The Filters must be set on Users in the View tab.
Click the Add Device button at the upper side of the table. A configuration window will appear.
Configure the mobile device details:
Enter a suggestive name for the device.
Use the Auto-configure name option if you want the device name to be automatically generated. When added, the device has a generic name. Once the device is activated, it is automatically renamed with the corresponding manufacturer and model information.
Select the device ownership type (enterprise or personal). You can anytime filter mobile devices by ownership and manage them according to your needs.
Select the Show activation credentials option if you are going to install the GravityZone Mobile Client on the user's device.
Click OK to add the device. The user is immediately sent an email with the installation instructions and the activation details to be configured on the device. The activation details include the activation token and the communication server address (and corresponding QR code).
If you have selected the Show activation credentials option, the Activation Details window appears, displaying the unique activation token, the communication server address and corresponding QR code for the new device.
After installing the GravityZone Mobile Client, when prompted to activate the device, enter the activation token and the communication server address or scan the provided QR code.
Adding devices to multiple users
To add mobile devices to a selection of users and groups:
Go to the Network page.
Locate the users or groups in the Active Directory folders or in Custom Groups and select the corresponding check boxes in the right-side pane.
Note
The Filters must be set on Users in the View tab.
Click the device.png Add device button at the right-side of the table. In this case, you have to define in the configuration window the device ownership only.
If there are users with unspecified email address, you are immediately notified with a message. The list of corresponding users will be available in the Notification area of Control Center.
Mobile devices created by multiple selection have by default a generic name in Control Center. Once a device is activated, it is automatically renamed with the corresponding manufacturer and model information.
Click OK to add the devices. The users are immediately sent an email with the installation instructions and the activation details to be configured on their devices. The activation details include the activation token and the communication server address (and corresponding QR code).
Compliant and not compliant mobile devices
Once the GravityZone Mobile Client application has been activated on a mobile device, the Control Center checks if the corresponding device meets all the compliance requirements.
Mobile devices can have the following security statuses:
Without Security Issues, when all compliance requirements are satisfied.
With Security Issues, when at least one of the compliance requirements is not satisfied. When a device is declared non-compliant, the user is prompted to fix the non-compliance issue. The user must make the required changes within a certain time period, otherwise the action for non-compliant devices defined in the policy will be applied.
For more information regarding the non-compliance actions and criteria, refer to Compliance .
