Security device management payload settings for Apple devices
You can configure Security settings for users of a Mac that enrolls in a device management service. Use the Security payloads to set various Gatekeeper and security options.
The Security payloads support the following. For more information, see Payload information.
Supported payload identifiers: com.apple.preference.security, com.apple.systempolicy.control, com.apple.systempolicy.rule
Supported operating systems and channels: macOS device, macOS user.
Supported enrollment methods: Device Enrollment, Automated Device Enrollment.
Duplicates allowed: False—only one Security payload can be delivered to a user or device.
You can use the settings in the table below with the Security payloads.
