3 Super administrator guide 1 About Sophos Mobile Control Sophos Mobile Control is a device management solution for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Sophos Mobile Control helps to keep corporate data safe by managing apps and security. The Sophos Mobile Control system consists of a server and a client component which communicate through data connections and text messages. The Sophos Mobile Control client is easily installed and managed with over-the air setup and configuration through the Sophos Mobile Control web console. With the Sophos Mobile Control Self Service Portal for your users, you can reduce IT efforts by allowing users to register their own devices and carry out other tasks without having to contact the helpdesk. Sophos Mobile Control currently supports the following mobile device platforms: Android Apple ios Windows Mobile BlackBerry (through BlackBerry Enterprise Server) Note: For BlackBerry devices only selected functions are supported. The Self Service Portal does not support BlackBerry devices. Due to the nature of the different platforms supported features vary. For a matrix of the features supported for the different platforms, refer to the Sophos Mobile Control technical guide. 1.1 About this guide This guide describes how to carry out super administrator specific tasks in the Sophos Mobile Control web console. For a description of the Sophos Mobile Control web console for regular administrators, see the Sophos Mobile Control administrator guide. Besides the description of the web console for regular administrators, you also find general information (for example prerequisites) and task descriptions in the Sophos Mobile Control administrator guide. General information and user interface descriptions in the administrator guide also apply to the super administrator, unless stated otherwise in this super administrator guide. 3

4 Sophos Mobile Control 2 Super administrator accounts A super administrator has specific rights and tasks in Sophos Mobile Control administration. The first super administrator account is created during Sophos Mobile Control configuration. With a super administrator account you log on to the super administrator customer. This customer is also created during Sophos Mobile Control configuration. For further information, see the Sophos Mobile Control installation guide. The Sophos Mobile Control web console shows a specific view for the super administrator customer. As a super administrator you can switch from the super administrator customer to other customers any time after login. You can also create new super administrators in the super administrator customer. 2.1 Super administrator rights and tasks After Sophos Mobile Control installation, the system needs to be set up and customers need to be configured. In Sophos Mobile Control, customers are the tenants that manage the devices of their users. The super administrator is primarily used to set up and manage customers for device management. As a super administrator, you can: configure technical contact information enable Sophos Mobile Security management by activating and assigning the relevant licenses Note: Sophos Mobile Security management is an optional Sophos Mobile Control module.

5 Super administrator guide 3 The super administrator customer The super administrator customer is created during Sophos Mobile Control configuration together with the first super administrator account. For further information, see the Sophos Mobile Control installation guide. The super administrator customer offers a specific view of the Sophos Mobile Control web console. This view is customized for super administrator tasks. The main differences between the super administrator customer web console view and the view for other customers and administrators are: Devices and Tasks are not available in the menu. Note: As devices are not available, the Dashboard does not show a view of all managed devices and no new devices can be added to the super administrator customer. Devices can only be added in the customers created by the super administrator. For adding devices you have to switch from the super administrator customer to a regular customer, see Switch to other customers (section 4.1). In the Compliance Settings view, the button Check now is not available. To check devices for compliance according to the criteria defined, you need to switch to the relevant customer. Two additional buttons are available in the Dashboard: The Creates a report of all customers' devices (CSV file) button for exporting a list of all managed devices for all customers The Download log files (ZIP file) button for downloading all log files in a.zip file In the SMSec tab of the Settings view, an additional License key field is available for activating the licenses for Sophos Mobile Security management.
