Set Device Owner Mode and Enroll Using an Android QR Code

The final step in making a device manageable is to enroll it on the device itself. When enrollment is complete, the device is registered in BizMobile Go! as an MDM device and can be managed.

Reset the device, and then enroll it with a QR code.

When enrollment is complete and the device is registered in BizMobile Go!, the profiles, apps, and other items registered in advance in the device's template are distributed to the device, and device setup (kitting) is completed automatically.

warning

Setting Device Owner mode with a QR code is not available on devices running Android 9 or earlier. Use Device Owner setup with a BizMobile ID instead.

info

Some models do not support setting Device Owner mode with a QR code.
In that case, use another method, such as Set Device Owner Mode and Enroll Using a BizMobile ID, to set Device Owner mode.

Note: The images show the setup screens on Android OS 13 and Pixel 4a.

Prepare a device that has not been activated (factory default state). If the device is already in use, reset it. Note: Charge the target device to at least 90%. When the device is encrypted (described later), the battery level must be at least 90% and the device must be connected to power.
On the language selection screen, tap anywhere other than a button or link six times in a row.
The QR code scanner starts.
Scan the QR code for Device Owner setup that is displayed when you click the device information created in advance. Note If you clear Show system apps, the display of system apps on the device is restricted. Which apps are restricted depends on the OS and differs by model. On some models, even system apps that run in the background are restricted to the minimum necessary, which may cause unexpected problems. Verify the behavior in advance before rolling out to multiple devices.
After the QR code is scanned, the Wi-Fi settings screen appears. Set up Wi-Fi.
When the device connects to the network, the phone setup starts. Wait for it to complete.
Tap Next.
Setup of the work device starts.
Tap Scan app.
Tap Install.
Review the terms and tap Accept & continue.
Wait for the setup to finish.
Tap Next.
Agree to location access and tap Next.
Tap Next.
The enrollment screen appears. Scan the enrollment QR code and tap Next. Note: If the QR code cannot be scanned, enter the Key/Code.
When processing is complete, tap Done.
Setup is now complete.

info

Depending on the network conditions in the device setup environment, it may take some time for all the profiles, apps, and other items registered in the template to be installed on the device.

info

Sign in to the device with a Google Workspace account at least 5 minutes after enrollment is complete.
(If you are configuring EMM with a Google Workspace account, you must sign in to the device after the first EMM sync following enrollment has completed.)
