Enroll COPE Android devices

Corporate-owned, personally-enabled (COPE) device management is available for Android 11+ devices using the QR code enrollment workflow.

COPE device management lets an admin provision Android devices with company-approved permissions and restrictions, but also allows personally-enabled options for the end user. Similar to the bring-your-own-device model, COPE offers more company control when it comes to applications, integration and security, but supports the end user’s need for one-device convenience when performing non-enterprise functions.
