The Command-Line Interface (CLI), available for Android devices and supported in Workspace ONE Assist, is the counterpoint to the Graphical User Interface (GUI). While a graphical user interface makes common tasks easy, a command-line interface makes complicated tasks possible.
This functionality requires the Remote Shell permission to be part of your assigned administrator roles. For more information, see Role-Based Access to Workspace ONE Assist.
