Setup Guide

Step-by-step instructions for connecting SOTI MobiControl to Pult Presence.

You need to create three things in MobiControl, then enter the credentials into the Pult Dashboard.

Credentials you'll collect along the way:

CredentialSource
API DomainYour MobiControl instance URL (e.g., company.mobicontrolcloud.com)
Client IDGenerated when creating the API Client
Client SecretGenerated when creating the API Client
Service Account UsernameSet when creating the service account user
Service Account PasswordSet when creating the service account user

Step 1: Create a Role

Go to Users and permissions → Roles and add a new role (e.g., "Pult Role").

Create a new role named "Pult Role"

Under General Permissions, enable only Configure devices/device groups. Pult only needs read access to device information -- no other permissions are required.

Enable only the "Configure devices/device groups" permission

Next, go to Device Group Permissions. Select only the device groups you want to expose to Pult, and enable the View Groups → Target groups permission for each of them. Pult will only be able to sync devices from the groups you allow here.

Enable "View Groups > Target groups" for each device group you want Pult to access

Step 2: Create a Service Account

Switch to the Users tab and add a new user:

  • User Type: MobiControl
  • Username: e.g., pult-api
  • Password: choose a strong password
  • Role: enable the Pult Role created in Step 1

Save the username and password -- you'll need them for the Pult configuration.

Create a service account with User Type "MobiControl" and the Pult Role enabled

Step 3: Create an API Client

Go to Global Settings → Services → API Client and click the + button.

Navigate to Global Settings, Services, API Client

Enter a name (e.g., "Pult Client") and click Generate.

Enter "Pult Client" as the name and click Generate

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret immediately. The Client Secret will not be shown again after closing this dialog.

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret before closing

Step 4: Configure in Pult

In the Pult Dashboard, go to Settings → Presence → MDM Settings → Add Integration → SOTI MobiControl and fill in all five fields:

  • API Domain -- your MobiControl instance domain (e.g., company.mobicontrolcloud.com)
  • Client ID and Client Secret -- from Step 3
  • Service Account Username and Service Account Password -- from Step 2

Pult validates the credentials on save. Devices will be synced on the next periodic sync cycle.

Enter all credentials in the Pult Dashboard MDM Settings
