This blog provides a step-by-step guide to setting up ManageEngine MDM Cloud from scratch.
Step 1: Creating an MDM Cloud Account
The first step in setting up MDM Cloud is creating an account. This account will allow you to manage your mobile devices through the cloud portal.
How to Create an MDM Cloud Account:
- Visit the official MDM Cloud Account Creation Page.
- Fill out the required details such as your organization’s name, email, and password.
- After submitting, you’ll receive an activation email. Click the verification link in the email to activate your account.

Step 2: User Administration
After setting up the account, managing user roles and permissions is essential for maintaining security and delegation within the MDM Cloud environment. ManageEngine MDM allows administrators to define specific roles and privileges for users such as IT admins, technicians, or help desk personnel.
Key Steps for User Administration:
- Navigate to User Administration Settings: In the MDM Cloud portal, go to the "Admin" section and select "User Management."
- Add New Users: You can invite users by entering their email addresses and assigning them a role.
- Assign Roles and Permissions: Define the user’s role—either as an administrator or technician. You can customize permissions based on the scope of the user’s tasks.

Step 3: Personalizing MDM Cloud (Optional)
To provide a more customized experience, you can personalize the MDM Cloud interface and emails sent to your users. This optional step allows your organization's branding to reflect in the MDM portal, creating a consistent experience for both administrators and end users.
Personalization Options:
- Company Logo: Upload your organization’s logo to the MDM Cloud interface.
- Custom Email Templates: Modify the default email templates for device enrollment, alerts, and other communications with your own brand’s messaging.
- Brand Colors: Customize the theme of the MDM Cloud portal to align with your company’s color scheme.
How to Personalize MDM Cloud:
- Go to the "Admin" section of the portal and select "Personalize."
- Upload your logo, configure the email templates, and set the brand colors.
- Save the changes and the updates will reflect across the portal.
