How do I Choose the Enrollment Method on AirDroid Business?
Once all necessary applications have been installed, it is important to enroll all company devices into AirDroid Business for efficient management, control, and monitoring.
In this section, we will introduce four main deployment approaches: Device Owner enrollment, Android Enterprise Enrollment, Zero-Touch Enrollment (ZTE) and Regular Enrollment, helping you choose the most suitable enrollment method based on your device and business requirements.
1The Enrollment via Device Owner
The Enrollment via Device Owner allows your device to obtain Device Owner's permission and this enables you to experience a more stable Kiosk, and other Policy Config File settings.
There are two methods for you to enroll via Device Owner:
● 6 Times Tap
● Enrollment via USB
2Android Enterprise Enrollment
With Android Enterprise Enrollment, you can use Managed Google Play Store feature with the devices. This allows you to pre-install or directly add apps from the Google Play Store. Additionally, you will be able to manage app permissions and configuration on your devices thoroughly.
We suggest utilizing either the Enrollment via Device Owner (6 Times Tap / Enrollment via USB) or Android Enterprise Enrollment as it allows you to have better device management experience on our solution.

5Regular Enrollment
If the previously mentioned enrollment methods do not suit your specific usage scenario, or if your devices meet any of the following criteria, you may use Regular Enrollment as an alternative:
2. Some devices, such as Android TV boxes, do not have a camera and do not support USB debugging mode.
3. Devices that do not support 6 Times Tap and ADB command.
*Please note that Regular Enrollment does not acquire the Device Owner permission for your device. Therefore, some of the Policy configurations will not be supported.
