Logging into Android Plus Shared Devices

About this task

Sign into a shared Android device using the SOTI MobiControl device agent to access personalized applications, settings, and security policies. When a user logs in, the device applies the policies defined in the Shared Device advanced configuration, ensuring a consistent and secure user experience.

Use this feature to:

Provide secure, role-based access to shared devices in shift-based environments.
Automatically apply user-specific configurations, apps, and restrictions.
Improve operational efficiency by reusing devices across multiple users or teams.

Note: To log into an iOS shared device, see Logging into iOS Shared Devices.

Procedure

To log into Shared Device on your devices:

On the device, open the SOTI MobiControl device agent.
Select the main menu, then select Log in to launch the Shared Device login page.

Note: If a lockdown profile configuration is enabled, swipe up from the bottom of the device screen and select Log In.
Enter your credentials for the applicable directory service or IdP connection.
Select Sign in.

Note: If prompted, review and accept the terms and conditions to complete the login process.

Note: It may take a few moments to prepare the device. Once complete, the user can access email and adjust personal settings as needed.
To log out, open the device agent, select the main menu, then select Log Out.

Results

After a user signs in successfully, the device automatically moves to the device group specified in the Shared Device advanced configuration. SOTI MobiControl then applies the settings and configurations associated with that group to the device.
