Allow users to install apps iO/S themselves

Peter Smith3 over 5 years ago

Current situation using VPP and DEP.

We deploy apps using Sophos MDM all good.

But, when a user goes to the app store they can find the app but the apps "Get" button is greyed out, so they cant install an app themselves.

What change do I need to make so that users can install apps themselves?

Hi Peter Smith3

Can you make sure that the iOS device profile restrictions have "Allow app installations" checked? I am attaching a screenshot for your reference.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

Those tick boxes are/were already checked (so that configuration is already in place).

Users still cant install apps themselves, the "get" button is greyed out - not selectable.

This is a big issue for us as we need to install apps centrally and so do users.

Hi Peter Smith3

Since you are using Apple VPP, the users can only install applications which are approved in VPP.

Thanks,
