Upload a configuration profile to DMA
You upload your configuration profiles to Device Management for Apple before you can install them on enrolled devices.
Depending on the payload and selection, profiles may be supported on both macOS and iOS devices.
You can add multiple payloads to one configuration profile, but when you update one payload in the configuration profile, all other associated payloads are affected. We recommend you create separate profiles based on function, or for frequently and infrequently changed settings.
Requirements
- You need a configuration profile created and ready to upload. There are a range of resources and applications you can use to create Apple configuration profiles. The following are two example resources:
