macOS settings
Ivanti EPMM allows you to define a number of macOS restrictions.
All restrictions are available to devices running macOS 10.12 or supported newer versions. Some restrictions are available on other versions of macOS. These are usually indicated by an information icon in the user interface.
macOS Kernel Extension settings
Starting from macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, Apple introduced the concept of “User Approved” MDM Enrollment. This optional enrollment type allows MDM management of certain security-sensitive settings. Using the macOS Kernel Extension loading enables the device user to one of the following:
- Device user manually installs an MDM enrollment profile using System Preferences
- All Device-enrolled Macs are considered user-approved enrollment.
The Kernel Extension Policy payload is designated by specifying com.apple.syspolicy.kernel-extension-policy as the PayloadType. This payload controls restrictions and settings for User Approved Kernel Extension Loading on macOS v10.13.2 and later. The profile containing the payload must be delivered via a User Approved MDM server, and it must be installed as a device profile.
In addition to the settings common to all payloads, this payload defines the following keys.
Procedure
- Go to Policies & Configs > Configurations.
- Select Add New > Apple > macOS Only > macOS Kernel Extensions. The New macOS Kernel Extension Setting dialog box opens.
- Select Add+ and configure the settings as described in the table below.

- Repeat step 3 for any additional team identifiers and kernel extensions.
- Select Save. The kernel extension displays in the Configurations page.
macOS restrictions
The macOS restrictions setting can be configured for the user or device channel. For devices running macOS 10.12 or supported newer versions, the default is user channel. If you want to apply the restrictions setting to macOS devices regardless of what user is logged in, select Device channel. If you want the restrictions setting to apply to a specific user, select User channel.
A macOS device should only have a single managed user. However, a macOS device may also have an administrator user. If you want the restrictions setting to apply to the whole device regardless of whatever user logs in, select Device channel.
Procedure
