Use case:  The Organization MobX uses WSO2 EMM, and they allow the employees to bring their own mobile devices to work. The devices need to be registered with EMM, and MobX has a set of policies that will be applied on the registered devices to keep inline with the Organization rules and requirements. Tom joins eMax as a Marketing officer, and his personal mobile device is an Android device.

When Tom registers with EMM, the policy that suites best will be enforced on his device as shown below:

  • Initially EMM will filter out all the policies that are configured for the Android platform.
  • Out of the filtered policies EMM will then filter the policies that are configured for BYOD devices.
  • Next it will filter the policies that are configured for the marketing role.
  • After filtering out the policies EMM identifies that there are 5 policies that can be applied to Tom's device. Therefore EMM will check for the policy with the highest priority and then enforce the policy on Tom's device.
