Create a Mac or iOS MDM Custom Configuration Profile Policy

探花大神 policies can help you customize, manage, and secure macOS or iOS devices that are enrolled in MDM. If you need a policy that isn鈥檛 available as a ready-to-use policy in the 探花大神 Admin Portal, you can create an MDM custom configuration profile policy to help you distribute payloads and policies to devices.

A custom configuration profile is an XML file with an extension of .mobileconfig. You can use GUI tools like聽听辞谤听, or a manual tool like聽聽to create the custom configuration profile. To see available payloads you can include in a configuration profile, use the聽聽maintained by the MacAdmins community.

Considerations:

  • The custom MDM configuration profile is automatically installed to all users on a device. 探花大神 signs the custom configuration profiles that are uploaded to the policy and modifies the following attributes within the profile:
  • PayloadIdentifier
  • PayloadUUID
  • PayloadRemovalDisallowed
  • MacOS devices with M1 chips require additional considerations if you are deploying kernel extensions as part of a custom MDM profile .mobileconfig payload. See  and consider using system extensions instead.

  1. Log in to the .
