Activating 

iOS

 devices

When you or a user activates an 

iOS

 device with 

BlackBerry UEM

, you associate the device with 

BlackBerry UEM

 so that you can manage devices and users can access work data on their devices.

You can activate devices with 

BlackBerry UEM

 with or without using 

Apple Configurator

 2 to prepare devices for activation. For more information about using 

Apple Configurator

 2, see Activating 

iOS

 devices using 

Apple Configurator

 2 in the Administration content

You can also enroll 

iOS

 devices in the 

Apple

 Device Enrollment Program and assign enrollment configurations to devices using the 

BlackBerry UEM

 management console. The enrollment configurations include extra rules, such as "Enable supervised mode," that are assigned to the devices during MDM enrollment. For more information, see Activating 

iOS

 devices that are enrolled in DEP in the Administration content.

If devices are not enrolled in DEP, you can still prevent unsupervised devices from being activated using settings in the activation profile.
