Supported iOS policy settings on user-enrolled devices

MaaS360® supports some policy setting attributes on user-enrolled devices that are also supported in Apple policies for user-enrolled devices. The administrator can configure and apply those supported iOS policy settings on user-enrolled devices.

Configure this policy setting from Security > Policies and select iOS MDM policy. Use the toggle option Filter User Enrollment (UE) attributes to view the policy attributes that are specific to the user-enrolled device. Configure these settings and save the changes before you toggle again. When you save and publish the policy, the payloads are pushed to the user-enrolled device.

To view iOS MDM policy settings, see Configuring iOS MDM policy settings. Only the iOS policy settings with the UE tag in the portal apply to user-enrolled devices.

Note: If policy payloads that are not supported on user-enrolled devices are configured and pushed to devices, these policy settings are not applied on the device.

The following payloads are supported and are configured by an administrator on a user-enrolled device from the iOS MDM policy settings:
