Introduction


By deploying the Podbean Pro Android and iOS mobile apps through a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution (such as VMware Workspace ONE UEM), an administrator can configure them for their end users so that there is no need to enter the Podbean tenant details. This greatly improves the initial end-user experience and reduces the potential for support tickets. See appconfig.org for more details on this.
