How to enable device approval requirement for mobile devices

Problem

How can you set up device approvals from the Admin console?

Environment

  • Mobile management

Solution

  1. Open your Google Admin console.
  2. Go to Menu > Devices > Mobile & endpoints > Settings > Universal settings as a user with Mobile Device Management administrator privileges.
  3. Click Security > Device approvals.
  4. To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit.
  5. Check the Require admin approval box.
  6. (Optional) Enter an email address to get notifications when users enroll their devices and require approval before they can access their work data.
