Manage devices in your fleet and perform functions on a particular set of devices with Workspace ONE UEM. Before you begin, confirm that your devices, operating systems, and administrator browsers are supported. This topic lists the current compatibility requirements for end-user devices (Android, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, Windows Desktop, Chrome OS, and Linux), on-premises server and infrastructure platforms, and the browsers used to access the administrator console.
Supported Operating Systems and Browsers on Workspace ONE UEM
This section provides comprehensive information about the supported operating systems, devices, and browsers for Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM. This section is designed to help you understand platform compatibility requirements for both managed endpoints and administrative infrastructure.
Supported End-User Devices
Workspace ONE UEM provides comprehensive management capabilities across a wide range of device types and operating systems.
Android
- Android 8.0 and later
- The primary enrollment modes for Android Enterprise are:
- Work Profile (BYOD): Creates a secure container, separating work apps (indicated by a briefcase icon) from personal data on employee-owned devices.
- Fully Managed (Corporate-Owned): These are devices that are solely used for work purposes and generally cannot be used for personal use.
- Corporate Owned Personally Enabled (COPE): These are corporate-owned devices issued to employees and can be used for both work and personal use.
- Workspace ONE supports both Custom DPC and AMAPI management methods to give customers flexibility based on business needs, device ownership models, and security requirements.
- Custom DPC uses the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub as the primary agent to apply policies.
- AMAPI uses native Android OS functionality through the Google Cloud for management. AMAPI brings a more streamlined approach best suited for COPE (Corporate Owned Personally Enabled) or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) setups.
Apple iOS and iPadOS
- iOS/iPadOS 11.0 and later - iPhone devices - iPad devices - iPod Touch devices
macOS (Desktop Devices)
- macOS 10.9 and later

Printer and IoT Devices
Workspace ONE UEM supports two distinct printer management modes. Use the mode that matches your printer fleet and management requirements.
Modern Printer Management (MQTT)
Modern printer management uses an MQTT-based communications protocol to manage printers and IoT devices directly.
- Supported devices: Any Zebra device running LinkOS 6.7 or later is supported.
- Management mode: Direct, cloud-based management over MQTT.
- No legacy connector required.
For more information about MQTT printer and IoT device management, see MQTT Printer and IoT Device Management.
Printer Management (non-MQTT, connector-based)
Non-MQTT printer management uses a connector to communicate with Zebra printers. This is a separate management mode with its own specifications, requirements, and supported device list.
- Management mode: Connector-based
- Supported devices: A defined set of Zebra printer models. See the table of supported legacy models in the Zebra Printer Management guide.
For the full list of supported legacy devices, see Introduction to Zebra Printer Management.
Supported Browsers
The following web browsers are supported for accessing the Workspace ONE UEM console, including both administrative interfaces and self-service portals.
Administrator Console Browsers
- Google Chrome (latest stable version recommended)
- Microsoft Edge (latest stable version recommended)
- Mozilla Firefox (latest stable version recommended)
- Safari (latest stable version recommended)
Best Practice: Always use the latest stable version of your preferred browser for optimal security, performance, and feature compatibility.
