About the Universal Device Service

The Universal Device Service is designed to permit you to manage devices that run iOS or Android OS in your organization's environment.

If you activate devices using the Universal Device Service, you can use the Universal Device Service to:

  • Manage devices using the IT policies and IT administration commands that the devices support
  • Configure profiles for devices so that you can control the connections to your organization's environment
  • Assign activation type profiles to user accounts to control how devices are managed
  • Provision and manage work applications on devices
  • View the device inventory for your organization

To provide a single interface for helpdesk administrators to manage all the devices in your organization's environment, you can connect BlackBerry Management Studio to the Universal Device Service.
