Device lock and unlock ​

Before locking a device ​

Confirm ownership or authorization, device serial number, assigned user, business reason, contract status and current online state. Complete the required approval and user-notice process.

Locking workflow ​

  1. Locate the exact device in the console.
  2. Review pending commands and current device status.
  3. Choose lost mode, remote lock or a less restrictive policy that matches the risk.
  4. Submit the command and monitor its execution status.
  5. Record the operator, reason, time and result.

Unlocking and pending commands ​

Unlock only after the required condition and approval are confirmed. If a command remains pending, check network access, device state, APNs delivery and certificate validity before retrying or deleting the pending task.
