MDM security controls and supported apps

You configure security controls for iOS (Apple) and Android devices differently. You’ll need to configure some settings using your current Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution (following the AppConfig standard) and other settings using Apple’s Mobile Device Management Settings or Android Enterprise.

Which apps are supported?

We support iOS and Android Atlassian cloud mobile apps: Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, Trello, and Opsgenie.

There are two ways your users can download these apps to their devices:

Directly from the App Store or the Google Play store, or
From your organization’s list of supported apps. You’ll need to configure this within your current MDM solution. Check the documentation for your MDM for more information.
