    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing user-specific applications on a shared user device. The user device can receive a first instance of an application having a Package ID that includes an identification of a first user. When the first user is logged in, the user device can display an icon associated with the first instance of the application, based on the Package ID including an identification of the first user. When the first user is not logged in, the user device can hide the first instance of the application. When a second user is logged in, the device can display a second instance of the application based on the Package ID of the second instance including an identification of the second user. The user device can also display the same instance of a shared application to both the first and second user.

    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for onboarding a device into a management system. An example method can include loading a management agent onto the device and receiving inventory information for the device. The example method can further include receiving a request to whitelist the device. In some examples, the request originates from a different device, such as a device used by a technician installing the connected device. The management server can authorize the device and add it to the whitelist. After authorizing the device, the management server can onboard the device by sending management information to the management agent on the device. The management server can then exercise management control of the device through the management agent installed on the device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of management service based device platform creation and device configuration. In some examples, user interactions with a platform creation portal user interface define a device platform that includes a platform ability, and an ability parameter that adjusts the platform ability. A device platform registry is updated to include the platform ability and the ability parameter. A device configuration request associated with the device platform is received. The device platform is transformed to generate a device management console with user interface elements that identify at least one user-defined argument for the at least one ability parameter.
