Use configuration profiles to standardize settings on Mac computers
With configuration profiles, you can standardize settings for Mac computers, such as a user’s Mail account, Wi-Fi settings, and VPN settings.
For example, if you are an administrator, you can set up profiles that configure Mac computers to interact with servers on a school or workplace network. You can provide users with one or several profiles. You can also provide users with a profile that, once installed, allows you to install additional profiles automatically.
If you’re a network administrator and need information about setting up managed computers and installing enrollment profiles, see Apple Platform Deployment.
For information about Apple’s privacy policy, see the Apple Privacy website.
Install a configuration profile you’ve received
You can review information about a profile before installing it.
On your Mac, do one of the following:
If the profile is attached to an email, open the attachment.
If the profile is posted on a website, download the profile from the website and open it.
Choose Apple menu
in the sidebar, then click Device Management. (You may need to scroll down.)You may be asked to supply your password or other information during installation.
In the Downloaded section, double-click the profile.
Review the profile contents, then click Continue, Install, or Enroll to install the profile.
If an earlier version of a profile is already installed on your Mac, the settings in the updated version replace the previous ones.
View an installed configuration profile
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
Double-click a profile in the Device Management list to view information about it.
Remove a configuration profile from your Mac
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
Select a profile in the list, then click
.
When you remove a profile, all of its settings and information are deleted. For example, if the profile set up your email account, removing the profile deletes the account information from your Mac.
If you can’t remove a configuration profile, ask for help from the person who provided the profile.
