Admins of Business, Business Plus, and Enterprise level accounts can now control how their users access Box by using device pinning. Device pinning enables enterprise admins to pin a user's corporate-managed Box account to a particular mobile device, tablet, or desktop application (such as Box Sync).
Admins also have access to a dashboard in the admin console for managing the following:
- Enable/disable device pinning
- Set the number of devices the Box application can be pinned to
- View all devices associated with each managed user’s account
- View all devices across managed users
- Disassociate a device from a user (this will log the user out)
To pin a user's device:
- Open your Admin Console.
- In the lefthand navigation, click Enterprise Settings.
- Toward the top of the page, click Security.
- Check Enable Device Pinning.
When device pinning is enabled for a business, admins can set a limit on the number of devices that a managed user can pin the Box app to. Once an application has been pinned to certain device, the admin is the only person who can remove that pin.
