Defining Device Configurations 
With device configurations you can configure mobile devices without being able to access them directly. Device configurations can be distributed to the mobile devices with the usual deployment mechanism.
You defined at least one monitoring configuration (see Defining Monitoring Configurations).
...
1. Start transaction DEVICE_CONFIG.
2. Enter a name for the new device configuration and choose Create.

Device configurations must not have the same name as a mobile component.
3. On the Monitoring Functions tab, enter the required monitoring configurations.
4. On the Assignments tab, enter the role you want to assign to the device configuration and thus to the monitoring functions.

If you want to assign the device templates to individual devices or users instead, you can do so in the SAP MI Web Console. In this case, proceed as for assigning applications (see Assigning Mobile Components and Device Configurations to Users).
Once you have synchronized the roles in the SAP MI Web Console (see Starting Role Synchronization) the specified parameters are changed for all users of the given role with the next synchronization.
