The Device Configuration Generator can be used to enforce features on Mac and supervised iPhone devices. It generates Device Config Files that can be installed onto devices directly from the dashboard.
When generating a Device Config File, you can choose to restrict the Config File so that it can't be removed from your device without unlocking your profile.
Set Up Devices for the Device Config Generator
Set Up a Mac
There is little setup required for Mac devices if you're just starting. The Device Config Generator can create Config Files that are compatible with most Mac computers.
- Access the Device Config Editor by going to Config Generator > macOS Config.
If you have previously used Config Presets on your Mac computer, these will need to be removed to avoid potential conflicts. See Migrating to the Device Config Generator for more information and instructions.
Set Up an iPhone or iPad Device
Most features, such as restricting Device Config removal or App Blocking, don't work on standard iPhone devices.
- We strongly recommend enabling supervised mode on your iPhone or iPad device before installing Device Config Files.
- Access the Device Config Editor by going to Config Generator > iOS Config.
If you have previously used Config Presets on your iPhone or iPad, these will need to be removed to avoid potential conflicts. See Migrating to the Device Config Generator for more information and instructions.
