Jamf Setup and Jamf Reset with single login improve the management of shared employee iPhones and iPads. A user's existing cloud identity credentials can be used for this.
Jamf, the world's leading provider of Apple device management software, is releasing a new single login workflow supported by Jamf Setup and Jamf Reset. The workflow simplifies and secures the provision of shared devices. With this new version, a user's existing cloud identity credentials can be used to provision or deactivate an iOS or iPadOS device for their individual needs. This is done wirelessly with the support of a native single sign-on workflow, without the IT department having to pick up the device.
Single sign-on workflows for employees
“There are two types of corporate iPhone and iPad deployments: general productivity devices and specific workflow devices. The first category of devices is assigned to a person and used to improve daily efficiency. The second category is used for a specific job and is often shared by several people, such as For example, from nursing staff, flight attendants or sales teams, ”explains Josh Jagdfeld, Senior Director of Partnerships at Jamf. "With the new single login, we offer organizations that want to use shared devices a secure and powerful way to do this."
Many care and hospital workers who use shared iOS devices experience “login fatigue”. You have to log in to multiple applications over and over again for your daily work. In addition, they have no way of updating their credentials at the end of their shift on the shared device so that it is ready for the next user.
Security for shared devices
The introduction of single login enables a seamless Apple experience on shared iOS devices that is very similar to the user experience on a personal device. Jamf Setup and Jamf Reset with Single Login aim at the following four points:
- Optimize the workflow
- Native cross-app single sign-on
- Improved security and administration
- Simplify device transitions
Some app vendors in industries where many Apple devices are shared have already partnered with Jamf to address the challenges of managing shared devices.
