Automatic approval of new enrolled devices in MDM Console using SureMDM

Applies to:
Product	SureMDM
Platform	Android/Windows

If you are enrolling and approving multiple devices in your MDM, the process of manually approving each of those devices can be time consuming.

SureMDMmakes it easy by allowing importing of a list with pre-approved devices details. Once this list is imported in SureMDM, whenever a new device is enrolled, SureMDM checks the pre-approved list and approves the device automatically if listed. To create this setup, below are three steps to be followed:

1. Creating a pre-approved list with device details

2. Importing the file with list of pre-approved devices in SureMDM

3. Configuring SureMDM Nix Agent
