If you use a mobile device management (MDM) tool that we do not integrate with, you can still deploy the Vanta Device Monitor using the script provided in the unmonitored section of the Computers page. It is essential to note that these scripts have a VANTA_OWNER_EMAIL field, and we expect it to be set to a unique email string value for every installation to register the Vanta Device Monitor with the correct user. The field cannot be set to a single static email, as all Vanta Device Monitors will register with the person who owns the email. That being said, if your MDM supports passing variables or arguments to a script, you can leverage this functionality and pass the different employee emails as arguments from a text file or an array. We recommend reaching out to your MDM providers for support on how to achieve this best.
