Manager integration

Manager is pre-installed on all EDLA devices which means you can manage devices directly after setup. However, to ensure that Manager can run and implement all EDLA-related features properly, ensure that the following settings are enabled before adding your EDLA device in Manager. 

 

 

Device Owner permission

Enable this option to allow Manager to access EDLA-specific settings of your device. 

 


Permission

Select this option during setup.

Select this option during setup.

Enabled

Manager shows the Device Owner enabled if option is active.

Manager shows Device Owner enabled if option is active.

Disabled

Skipping this option will still allow the device to be added successfully to your Manager instance, but some EDLA-related features may not be available.

 

If you need to activate this permission, perform the following:

 

1
