Managing configurations of mobile devices across mobility configuration environments
Embodiments described herein provide for systems and methods for managing configurations of mobile devices. A server may receive an instruction inputted via a graphical control to translate configurations from a first device environment to a second device environment. The server may identify, via an interface, a resource accessible by a first plurality of mobile devices in the first device environment based on the instruction. The server may determine, from the first device environment, a first profile identifying a first plurality of attributes defining a first configuration for the first plurality of mobile devices. The server may generate, using the first profile, a second profile identifying a second plurality of attributes defining a second configuration for a second plurality of mobile devices in the second device environment. The server may transmit, via the interface, the second profile to the second plurality of mobile devices.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the porting instruction indicating the device object includes receiving, by the computer, an indication of a first profile including the device object in the source device environment, the first profile including the one or more attributes defining a first configuration for a first plurality of mobile devices in the source device environment.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein generating the second object file representing the device object for the target device environment includes generating, by the computer using the first profile, a second profile including the device object in the target device environment, the second profile including a plurality of attributes defining a second configuration for a second plurality of mobile devices in the target device environment.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the graphical control console includes a webpage configured to display one or more interface elements for administering configurations of the plurality of environments source device environment and the target device environment, and
wherein the one or more interface elements including at least one of: a first field to indicate an object, a second field to indicate the source device environment, or a third field to indicate the target device environment.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the attribute includes at least one of: a group identifier, user identifier, a software application, or access rights.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the porting instruction includes determining, by the computer, from the porting instruction inputted via the graphical control console, a reference identifier corresponding to the device object in the source device environment.
11. A system comprising:
a computer having one or more processors coupled to a non-transitory medium and configured to:
receive, via a graphical control console, a porting instruction indicating a device object representing a device of a source device environment and a target device environment;
transmit, to a configuration server, a query for one or more attributes of the device object of the source device environment;
receive, from the configuration server, a first object file representing the device object in the source device environment, the first object file including code representing the one or more attributes of the device object for the source device environment;
update the code for an attribute of the first object file based on a structure template or syntax template of the attribute according to a target configuration required by the target device environment, thereby generating a second object file representing the device object for the target device environment;
responsive to receiving a second instruction triggering the computer to modify the device object based on the second object file, transmit, to the configuration server, the second object file according to the porting instruction to include the second object file in the target device environment; and
responsive to receiving a rollback instruction, transmit, via a configuration manager, an indication to the device object corresponding to the second object file in the target device environment, the indication triggering the computer to revert the second object file to the first object file.
12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein when receiving the first object file from the configuration server the computer is further configured to store the first object file into a non-transitory memory accessible to the one or more processors of the computer.
13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the computer is further configured to generate a file-directory in the non-transitory memory accessible to the one or more processors of the computer.
14. The system according to claim 11 , wherein when receiving the first object file from the configuration server the computer is further configured to generate the first object file in accordance with a template based upon the one or more attributes for the device object in the source device environment.
15. The system according to claim 14 , wherein when generating the second object file the computer is further configured to translate the first object file to the second object file in accordance with a second template, the second template based upon the plurality of one or more attributes for the device object in the target device environment.
