Learn how to manually assign devices to your company using custom Host assignment links. Admins can easily assign devices by generating a custom Host assignment link and sharing it with remote users. Once the remote user opens the link, installs the custom Host, and confirms the assignment, the device will be seamlessly added to the admin's company devices. With this method, admins can streamline their device management process.
