Learn how to add details to user entries in Miradore to utilize user-specific settings with configuration profiles and managed configurations for apps.

About user-specific settings in Miradore

Certain configuration profiles and applications can access and utilize user-specific settings in Miradore from the user pages available under the Company > Users menu. This is particularly helpful when a configuration profile is mass-deployed to multiple devices simultaneously because it eliminates the need to create a dedicated configuration profile for each device separately. For applications, user-related settings can be created with flexible values when using managed configurations.

The following configuration profile types can utilize user-specific settings:

Applications can use managed configurations where user-specific settings are added to the managed configuration settings as variables.

User-specific settings are managed on the different tabs of the user details page, available by double-clicking the row of a user entry on the Company > Users page. The following account settings can be managed using the tabs on the user page:

• Main: The user's main data, some of which (for example, name and email address) are also shown on associated device pages.
• Email accounts: The user's email account data.
• Mail for Exchange accounts: The user's Microsoft Exchange account data for email services.
• VPN accounts: The user's VPN account data.
• Proxy accounts: The user's proxy account data.
• Managed Google Play account: The user's managed Google Play account details. These cannot be edited.
