Intellicus mobile applications can be managed on Intellicus web server. This is the server that you connect your mobile application to. Admin users or users with specific privileges of demo server can manage the devices that send connection request. They can provide role-based access of different entities (reports, datasets, dashboards etc.) in mobile application, set some security measures and limit scope of usage. The mobile applications are identified by the Unique Device id on the Intellicus web server.
