Android Device Enrollment as a Dedicated Device
The Dedicated type of Android Device Enrollment, also known as COSU (Corporately-Owned Single-Use), is widely used with fully managed devices that serve a specific purpose. Examples of this type of usage include employee-facing device usage such as in inventory management, field service management, transport, logistics as well as customer-facing device usages like kiosks, digital signage, hospitality check-in etc.
Some of the significant features of Dedicated devices are:
- Lock down devices to specific whitelisted apps
- Block users from escaping locked down devices to enable other actions.
- Set lock screen restrictions
- Device sharing between multiple users (such as shift workers or public-kiosk users)
- Suspend over-the-air (OTA) system updates over critical periods by freezing the OS version.
- Remotely wipe and lock work data
- Automatic compliance enforcement
- Lock app(s) to screen
- Automatic compliance enforcement
- Distribute apps silently
