Review device management payloads for Apple devices
Payloads can be used on various operating systems, and with users and devices (in some cases, they work only on devices that are supervised). Payload information for Apple devices is detailed in the table below, which contains the following columns. Before you review the table below, understand what each column contains.
Payload information
Supported payload name and identifiers: This column notes the name of the payload and the identifiers. If you’re using a device management service, the payload name may be different, but the identifiers are the same.
Supported operating systems and channels: This column notes the supported operating system and specifies whether the payload can be used for a device configuration profile or a user configuration profile. Because Shared iPad and Mac can have more than one user, a payload can be applied to the device channel (all users) or the user channel (specific users).
Supported enrollment method: This column notes the three enrollment methods: User Enrollment, Device Enrollment, and Automated Device Enrollment. For more information, see Enrollment methods for Apple devices.
Duplicates allowed: This column notes whether one specified payload (FALSE) or more than one specified payload (TRUE) can be delivered to a user or device. For example, you can install more than one Subscribed Calendars payload on a device, and have multiple Subscribed Calendars payloads in a single profile. In this case this allows you to subscribe the user to more than one calendar. Some payloads have additional requirements to differentiate duplicate payloads. For example, you can install more than one Wi-Fi payload on a device, but each Wi-Fi payload needs to have a unique SSID.
You can see a complete list of device management payloads below, or you can see payloads based on a specific device or User Enrollment.
