Add iOS, iPadOS, or macOS device feature settings in Intune

  • Artikkel

Intune includes many features and settings that help administrators control iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices. For example, administrators can:

  • Allow users access to AirPrint printers in your network
  • Add apps and folders to the home screen, including adding new pages
  • Choose if and how app notifications are shown
  • Configure the lock screen to show a message or the asset tag, especially for shared devices
  • Give users a secure single sign-on experience to share credentials between apps
  • Filter web sites that use adult language and allow or block specific web sites

Intune uses "configuration profiles" to create and customize these settings for your organization's needs. After you add these features in a profile, you then push or deploy the profile to iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices in your organization.

This feature applies to:

  • iOS/iPadOS
  • macOS

This article describes the different features you can configure, and shows you how to create a device configuration profile. You can also see all the available settings for iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices.
