Configuring communication between devices and 
BlackBerry UEM

The 
Enterprise Management Agent
 profile ensures that devices contact 
BlackBerry UEM
 regularly for app or configuration updates. When there is an update for a device, 
BlackBerry UEM
 prompts the device to contact 
BlackBerry UEM
 to receive the updates. If for any reason the device doesn't receive the prompt, the 
Enterprise Management Agent
 profile is used to make sure that the device contacts 
BlackBerry UEM
 at intervals that you specify.
In on-premises environments, you can also use the 
Enterprise Management Agent
 profile to allow 
BlackBerry UEM
 to collect a list of personal apps on users' devices. To turn off the collection of personal apps, you must deselect the "Allow personal app collection" setting. For more information, see Turn off personal apps collection.
For 
BlackBerry 10
 devices, the 
Enterprise Management Agent
 profile allows you to restrict which cipher suites from the SSL library are supported by the device. Restricting the supported cipher suites does not affect device communication with 
BlackBerry UEM
, but it could affect communication with other servers in your organization, depending on the requirements of those servers.
You can assign an 
Enterprise Management Agent
 profile to users, user groups, and device groups.
