What is a

BlackBerry UEM

plug-in?

A

BlackBerry UEM

plug-in is a code delivery mechanism that adds new features or user-assignable services to

BlackBerry UEM

. Plug-in integration is made possible by the

BlackBerry UEM

platform, which handles core operations such as user management, authentication, mapping services to users and devices, and providing the underlying logic for the management console and

BlackBerry UEM Self-Service

.

A

BlackBerry UEM

plug-in integrates with the core code base of

BlackBerry UEM

. As a result, a plug-in can interact with the system, listen for and react to events, add configuration and management options to the management console, and add custom APIs to support new services or features. The extensible design of the

BlackBerry UEM

platform supports any number of plug-ins.

Plug-in design is flexible. You can create a plug-in that exposes UI options for configuration, permission and profile management, and user assignment, or you can implement “back-end” functionality with no UI impact at all. A plug-in can exist independent of other

BlackBerry UEM

features (for example, a service that is extended to devices and managed from a dedicated screen in the management console). A plug-in can also introduce new functionality that is reflected throughout the user experience (for example, a new profile type that can be assigned, removed, or edited just like any other

BlackBerry UEM

profile).
