Delete an external device management service in Apple Business
You can delete a third-party device management service, and reassign or unassign devices that have current assignments with it.
Important: If a third-party device management service with current device assignments goes offline instead of being deleted (for example, due to a network issue), the devices continue to use the last known management configuration until you assign them to a new service or you erase and reactivate them.
Link to an external device management service
In Apple Business, sign in with a user whose role has permissions to view, add and delete device management services.
To view roles and permissions, see Intro to roles and permissions.
In your browser, choose Devices > Management Services.
Select the device management service you want to delete.
Select Remove Service, then do one of the following:
Select the service you want to reassign the devices to, then select Reassign & Delete.
Select None from the services list, then select Unassign & Delete.
