With basic management, you can keep corporate data safe by requiring that mobile devices have a screen lock or password. You can also wipe corporate information from devices if they’re lost or stolen. You see a list of devices that are accessing corporate data in the Google Admin console.
You don’t need to do anything to turn on basic management—it’s on by default. If you turned it off, see Set up basic mobile device management. Users don’t need to install anything on their device for you to manage it. They just sign in with their corporate email address on their device.
How to turn on basic mobile management
If you ever used mobile management and turned it off, use these steps to turn it on again.
