Content loading.Apple device management requires Apple Management (APNs) to be configured. If needed, read the Apple Management setup (APNs) page.

Open the Apple Policy Editor

 In the dashboard, open Policies and click Create new Apple policy. To edit an existing Apple policy, click its row in the policies table.

Editor layout

 The Apple Policy Editor is organized as a set of expandable sections. At the top of the page you can always edit:

  • Name (required)
  • Id (read-only)
  • Description (optional)

Policy sections

 The sections below match the panels currently available in the Apple Policy Editor:

  • App management: configure app-related restrictions and managed apps.
  • Passcode settings: configure passcode requirements and related rules.
  • Security: control features such as Auto Unlock and biometric unlocking.
  • iCloud: allow or disallow specific iCloud services (backup, keychain sync, private relay, etc.).
  • Multimedia: allow/disallow camera and related features.
  • Cellular: control cellular-related settings (app cellular data settings, eSIM, plan changes).
  • Networking: control AirDrop/AirPrint/AirPlay and other connectivity settings.
  • Accounts: restrict account modification and (optionally) configure Google and Mail accounts.

 Many options in the Apple Policy Editor include a tooltip that documents requirements and supported OS versions.

Save, delete, and associated devices

 Use Save policy to apply your changes. The button is disabled when there are no pending edits, or when the license is expired.

 When editing an existing policy, the page also shows a Delete policy action. The editor can show an Associated devices list at the bottom, so you can see how many devices are currently using the policy.
