AppStation configuration steps overview

The configurations for AppStation are done in Cloud. The following steps provide an overview of the configuration steps for deploying AppStation and pointers to the relevant content in the Cloud Administrator Guide:

  1. Create a user group to distribute AppStation and manually add users to the group.
    See Creating a manually managed user group in the Cloud Administrator Guide.

  2. Create a dynamically managed device group with the rule "user group," which equals to the user group created for AppStation.
    See Adding a device group in the Cloud Administrator Guide.
  3. Create a MAM Only configuration for AppStation and assign it to the dynamically managed device group created for AppStation.
    See Configuring MAM-only in Cloud .
  4. (Optional) Define the AppStation sites to distribute to devices. AppStation sites are sites that you want to bookmark.
    See Configuring AppStation sites for information about AppStation sites.
  5. Add apps for distribution and assign the apps for distribution to the dynamically managed device group created for AppStation.
    See Add apps for distribution.

  6. Download and register AppStation.
    If Always require client registration is enabled in Users > User Settings > Device Registration Setting in Cloud, users automatically get emails for registering their device via AppStation. Device users download AppStation to their device directly from the Apple App Store.
    See What users see in AppStation for iOS for information about how device users can register their devices to your Cloud instance and install apps from AppStation.
