2. Log in as an administrator.
3. Open the Mobile Access tab.

5. Select the desired device enrollment requirements
Acronis Access includes two device enrollment mode options. This mode is used for all client
enrollments. You will need to select the option that fits your requirements:
PIN number + Active Directory username and password - In order to activate their Acronis
Access app and gain access to Acronis Access servers, a user is required to enter an expiring,
one-time use PIN number and a valid Active Directory username and password. This option
ensures that a user can only enroll one device, and only after receiving a PIN number issued by
their IT administrator. This option is recommended when the enhanced security of two-factor
device enrollment is required.
Active Directory username and password only - A user can activate their Acronis Access app
using only their Active Directory username and password. This option allows a user to enroll one
or more devices at any point in the future. Users just need to be given the name of their Acronis
Access Client Management server, or a URL pointing to their Acronis Access Client Management
server, which can be posted on a web site or emailed, simplifying the rollout of Acronis Access to
large numbers of users. This option is preferred in environments where two-factor enrollment is
not required and many users may need access to Acronis Access at any time, such as student
deployments.
Inviting a user to enroll
Users are typically invited to enroll with the Acronis Access Server with an email that is sent from an
Acronis Access Administrator. If required by the server, this email contains a one-time use PIN
number that is valid for a configurable number of days. The PIN number can be used to enroll the
Access Mobile Client app on one device only. If a user has multiple devices, they will need to be sent
one invitation email for each device that needs access. This email includes a link to the Access Mobile
Client app in the Apple App Store, in the case the app first needs to be installed. It also includes a
second link that, when tapped while on the device, will open the Access Mobile Client and
auto-complete the client enrollment form with the Acronis Access Server's name, the unique
enrollment PIN number, and the user's username. By using this link, a user simply enters their
account password to complete client enrollment.
Once an enrollment invitation is generated, the invited users are displayed on the Enrollment
Invitations page. Each user's PIN number is listed, in the case that you need to communicate it by
a means other than the automatic email.
Once a user successfully enrolls their Access Mobile Client using their one-time use PIN number,
they will no longer appear in this list.
To revoke a user's invitation PIN number, press delete to remove them from the list.
Filter by - The invitations list can be filtered by Username, Display Name, or Email Address.
