Enroll Android Devices

 

You can initiate enrollment of Android devices by sending invitation mails to users (device owners) from the device enrollment wizard.

To add an Android Device

• Select 'Smart Devices'.

The instructions for enrolling an Android device will appear:

• Enter the email address(es) of the users whose devices you want to enroll. You can add multiple addresses separated by commas.

• Select the 'Is Admin?' checkbox if you want to assign an admin role to the user(s). Admins can use the cWatch app on their device to view web traffic stats for all protected devices.

• Click 'Send'.

An invitation mail will be sent to the target user(s) with instructions on how to install the app and register it with cWatch.

An example mail is shown below:

Step 3 - Install SSL certificate for displaying warning page when HTTPS websites are blocked

• cWatch office displays a warning page to end-users whenever a website is blocked.

• You need to install an SSL certificate on the device in order to correctly display this warning page when a HTTPS site is blocked.
