Mobile Access Management (MAM) locks devices using the Imprivata Locker app, available for iOS and Android devices.
Obtaining the App
Mobile Access Management locks devices using a Custom B2B App, which is distributed through Apple’s iTunes VPP program. There is no charge for the Imprivata Locker app for iOS.
To obtain the app, email support@imprivata.com with the following information:
- Your organization’s DEP ID
- Exact organization name as it appears in Apple Business Manager
Also make sure Custom Apps are enabled for your organization within Apple Business Manager. It may take 1-2 days for the app to appear in your list of Custom Apps.
After the app shows within ABM, your ABM administrator must “purchase” (for free) a number of copies of the app. It does not matter how many copies are purchased, but it should be sufficient to cover the quantity of devices you have.
After purchase, the app appears within your MDM alongside other VPP apps. Configure your MDM to automatically deploy your apps to the appropriate group of devices on enrollment. Ensure that the Imprivata Locker app is allowed through your MDM profiles and it’s not hidden or uninstalled during Check In or Check Out Workflows.
