1 relution:
2 enrollment:
3 passcodeLength: 16

Operating system specific requirements regarding password length have to be considered additionally. After the change, the instance must be restarted.

Send app text messages to a device

In order to send a message to a device user as an administrator of Relution, the action “Send message” can be used. Title and content can be defined.

To receive the message, the Relution app must be installed on the device. When it is launched for the first time, push notification must be enabled.

Subsequently managed apps

Non-supervised apps installed by users on a device are updated if the device administrator defines the same app as a required app via app compliance or assigns it to a group or users via auto-deployments. On devices that are not supervised, a dialog appears asking if app management should be done via Relution. After confirmation, the app is updated and will be a managed app afterwards. On supervised devices, no dialog appears and the action is performed automatically. If there is a VPP license for the managed app in the Relution organization, it will be assigned automatically. No Apple ID is required on the device.
