AppStation Configuration steps overview

The configurations for AppStation are created in Cloud. The following provides an overview of the configuration steps for deploying AppStation and pointers to the relevant content in the Cloud Help:

1. Create a user group to distribute AppStation and manually add users to the group.

   See AppStation for Android and Android Enterprise for AppStation behavior on Android Enterprise devices.
   See "Creating a manually managed user group" in the Cloud Help.

2. Create a dynamically managed device group with the rule "user group," which is equal to the user group created for AppStation.
   See "Adding a device group" in the Cloud Help.

   Devices previously enrolled for MDM in a Cloud tenant cannot be re-registered with the same Cloud tenant using AppStation. To use AppStation, delete the devices from the Cloud tenant, then register with the same Cloud tenant using AppStation.

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. Add apps for distribution and assign the apps for distribution to the dynamically managed device group created for AppStation.
   See Add apps for distribution.

5. Notify users to 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 Google Play Store.
   See What users see in AppStation for Android for information about how device users can register their devices to your Cloud instance and install apps from AppStation.
