TL;DR

Integrate Threema Work with Applivery MDM to centrally manage licenses and configure policies for secure enterprise messaging on Android and iOS devices.

Threema Work is a secure enterprise messaging solution designed for professional use in organizations that prioritize data protection and privacy. Unlike conventional messaging Apps, Threema Work ensures end-to-end encryption for all communications, including messages, voice calls, and files. It complies with strict privacy regulations such as GDPR and does not require a phone number or email address, preserving user anonymity.

Designed for corporate environments, Threema Work offers centralized user and Policy management. IT admins can preconfigure the App, enforce usage Policies, and distribute it at scale across managed Devices.

Create the MDM licenses in Threema Work

To begin, log in to the Threema Work and select your active subscription. Navigate to the User management (1) section and click + Add (2) to begin assigning MDM licenses to your subscription.

Choose the option License for MDM system (3) and specify a username and password—these credentials will later be used to integrate the licenses with Applivery. You can choose to store the password either in plain text or as a hash. If you opt for a hashed password, be sure to save the link displayed after clicking Save, as hashed passwords cannot be retrieved later.

Note

If saved in plain text, the credentials will remain visible and can be copied at any time by clicking the three dots next to the license entry.
