Single device registration
Administrators can register a single device from the Admin Portal. This method is best for the following scenarios:
- adding the first few devices to a new system
- adding a few new devices to an existing system
This section contains the following topics for single device registration:
See Registration considerations for points to consider before using this registration method.
Prerequisites for registering a single device
Verify that the following conditions exist before registering a device:
- The user (local or LDAP) associated with the device must be available for selection at the time of registration.
- User Portal role must be assigned to the user.
- The following information must be available for the device:
- Phone number (if any)
- Country
- Platform
Registering a single device
For most platforms, this registration method results in user notification by SMS and email. PDA users are notified by email. The SMS contains a live URL link. The email includes a URL, instructions, and the information the user will need to enter during registration. The user can click the live URL in the SMS or enter the URL directly into the device browser to complete the registration process.
If the user does not respond within 48 hours, Ivanti EPMM sends a reminder. After 120 hours, the registration expires. This expiration interval is configurable in Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Registration in the field Passcode Expiry. The maximum value is 4320 hours (6 months).
You can register devices using temporary passwords.
Procedure
- From the Admin Portal, go to Devices & Users > Devices.
- Click Add > Single Device.
- Modify one or more of the following fields, as necessary.
- Refer to the Add Single Device Fields table for details.
- Click Register. After a brief pause, a pop-up window lists instructions for the next step. The content of this pop-up window varies based on the OS and type of the device. Consider leaving this message displayed until the registration has been completed. Note that the instructions also appear in the log.

Fields | Description |
|---|---|
User | Enter user information to locate the user account. For example, you might enter the user ID, first name, last name, or email address. Select the user you want to work with from the drop-down list of matching accounts. You can restrict single device registration queries to users within an LDAP OU. If there is an LDAP OU or group included in the Space criteria, the Devices & Users > Devices > Add Device > User field will be constrained to that OU. |
Device Platform | Select the name of the operating system used on this phone. If you do not see the platform you want, it may be disabled. For details, see the section, “Specifying eligible platforms for registration” in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide. |
This device has no phone number | If you do not have a cellular operator for the device or a data plan with your current operator, select This device has no number. |
