Configure ArcGIS Earth for mobile device management
Mobile device management (MDM) refers to the administration of mobile devices such as phones and tablets in an organization. It is a key component of enterprise mobility management (EMM) to enable the centralization and optimization of functionality and security management for mobile devices. ArcGIS Earth for mobile supports deploying and managing the app through MDM software such as AirWatch and Microsoft Intune.
Enterprise administrators can also specify a predefined portalURL string representing the organization's portal as an app configuration (AppConfig) setting for the managed ArcGIS Earth mobile app. At the initial launch after the update of portalURL, the app will present the authentication challenge screen for signing in to the designated portal.
| Key | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| portalURL | The portal URL of your organization |

Note:
While the ArcGIS Earth mobile app does work with third-party MDM solutions, its deployment within an MDM environment is not currently supported by Esri Technical Support. It is incumbent on the organization to have internal expertise on MDM technology and resolve MDM-related issues. Alternatively, organizations can work with Esri Professional Services to request assistance with MDM deployments.
