Navigating beem Hub
The beem Hub interface is structured into modular sections designed for intuitive navigation and efficient management. These sections are continuously enhanced to support evolving functionality and user needs.
Top Functions
This section provides quick access to the most frequently used features and administrative actions. It serves as a shortcut hub for essential tasks, enabling users to perform common operations with minimal navigation effort.
Company Services Tab
This section provides access to company-wide configuration options and service management features.
Get started with beem
This section provides comprehensive management of your initial required configurations, including company domain setup, user and device management, and security settings.
Device Management
Device Management simplifies the setup and administration of mobile devices used within your company. Instead of configuring each device manually, Swisscom automatically applies optimal settings tailored to your organization’s needs.
This feature is included with your beem Security Edition but can be activated optionally depending on your company’s requirements.
Enable Device Management
WARNING
Currently, Device Management is only available for Apple operating systems (iOS, iPadOS, macOS). Support for other operating systems will be introduced at a later stage.
To activate Device Management, click on Start setup and follow the guided steps.
During setup, you can:
- Choose whether to enable Device Management
- Define which operating systems your organization supports
- Select tailored security levels for both existing and new devices
- Automatically configure devices for optimal security
- Remotely erase lost or stolen devices to protect company data
If your organization already uses a third-party device management solution, you can choose to keep this feature switched off.
What happens on enrolled devices
When a device is enrolled into beem Device Management, the following changes are applied automatically:
- Security settings enforced: Device configurations are adjusted according to the security level defined by the administrator in the beem Hub.
- beem app installation: The beem app is set up on the device, enabling protection in unsecured networks and integration with zero trust access policies.
These actions are performed automatically during enrollment to ensure that devices comply with company security requirements and are ready to access business resources securely.
Notes on Apple setup
To enable iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices in beem Basic Security Edition, you must create and configure an Apple Business Manager (ABM) account. If you do not yet have an ABM account, the wizard will guide you through the creation process. If you already have an ABM account, ensure that you create an ABM Admin User for Swisscom to enable integration.
How to add an ABM Admin User to your ABM account
- Log in to your Apple Business Manager (ABM) account.
- Navigate to Users and click Add.
- Enter the required details and use the following email address: beem.device.management@swisscom.com
- Assign the Administrator role and save the user.
- Select the newly created user and click Create login information.
- Choose Send as Email to deliver the login credentials.
Configure Apple Business Manager (ABM) Account
Once your ABM account is created, Swisscom will perform several additional setup steps to complete the integration:
- Domain ownership: Confirms to Apple that your internet domain belongs to your organization and prevents unauthorized use.
- User directory federation: Links your user directory with ABM so employees can log in using their beem credentials.
- User provisioning setup: Creates managed Apple accounts automatically for all employees registered in MySB.
- MDM connection: Establishes a secure connection between Ivanti MDM and ABM, enabling device enrollment and management.
- beem app enablement: Allows the MDM platform to automatically install the beem app on user devices.
Enrol Apple Devices
To enrol an Apple device (iOS, iPadOS, or macOS) into beem Basic Security Edition:
- On the device, open Settings.
- Navigate to VPN & Device Management.
- Select Sign in to Work or School account.
- Enter your managed Apple ID (e.g., username@customer.beem.swiss) and tap Continue.
- Review the Terms of Service page and tap Accept.
- Complete the login prompts using your Apple ID as the username.
- On the next screen, select Sign in to iCloud.
- Authenticate with your passkey.
- When prompted, tap Allow Remote Management to finish enrollment.
Apple Device Security Levels
Each enrolled device is assigned a Security Level that defines how strictly corporate security policies are applied. Security levels control system configurations related to device protection, data protection, and privacy and security.
For Apple operating systems (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS), there are four predefined security levels.
All Apple devices in your organization share one unified security level.
WARNING
If you manage multiple Apple devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad, and Mac), the selected level applies to all of them simultaneously. Changing the level in the beem Hub updates all managed Apple devices at once.
Device security levels
Each security level defines the strength and restrictiveness of the policies applied to the device.

After adding the domain, your DNS settings will need to be updated with a unique text key. This may take up to 48 hours to complete.

User Groups
You can organize users into groups to simplify the management of settings and policies.
To add a new user group:
- Navigate to Company Services

You can also add more users later by selecting the already created group and choosing additional users to include.
Assign User Licenses
In the final step, you need to assign the appropriate license to each newly created user. Choose between 'Protect' or 'Protect & Connect'.
