Management Console
The Management Console is the central control center that allows administrators to monitor the state of
endpoints, policy enforcement, and protection across the enterprise.
The Management Console features security and configuration settings that are applied through policy to
groups called Populations.
For increased security, administrator duties are separated into administrator roles. For example, the
security administrator can change and commit security policies for the entire enterprise, groups of users,
or individual users.
The Management Console has the following features.
• Centralized management of diverse mobile devices
• Role-based mobile security policy creation and management
• Separation of administrative duties
• Automatic distribution of security policies
• Device inventory
• Searchable, ODBC-compliant system logs
• Trusted paths for communication between components
• Unique encryption key generation and automatic secure encryption key escrow
• Centralized compliance auditing and reporting
The menu pane allows access to the following functions.

Endpoint levels. See Populations. See Manage Security Policies
