macOS Device Profiles
SureMDM empowers IT administrators to configure and distribute individual or multiple profiles to enrolled macOS devices, offering a versatile approach to customization. The profiles can be deployed to the devices based on system and user levels.
macOS profiles will be supported only for Premium and Enterprise licenceses.
System Profile - This is a default profile. For this User Profile should be disabled. When a profile is deployed on the enrolled macOS device(s), it gets applied to all users of a device irrespective of whether they have logged into the device or not.
User Profile - To enable User Profile on the SureMDM console, navigate to Profiles > macOS and select User Profile. Once enabled, when a profile is deployed on the enrolled macOS device(s), it gets applied to a specific managed user who has currently logged into the device.
For example, consider a scenario where a macOS device is shared between two users: user1 is a managed user, while user2 is not managed. If the User Profile is applied to the device and user2, who is currently logged in, does not have a managed profile, the applied profile will enter a "Pending" state.
