Create and edit configuration profiles

To create and edit configuration profiles, use Profile Manager’s administration portal. Make sure Profile Manager is running, then follow the steps below.

Create a configuration profile

  1. In your web browser, enter the URL for Profile Manager, or click the Open Profile Manager link in the Profile Manager pane of the Server app.

  2. Log in to Profile Manager using an administrator account.

  3. Select the device, user, or group that will receive the settings.

  4. Click Settings, then click Edit.

    To view individual payload options, see the “Configuration profile reference” section in this help and review the information in About profiles and payloads and Payload best practices.

  5. Select a payload in the list on the left, click Configure, edit the settings, then click OK.

    You can configure multiple payloads for a single configuration profile.

  6. Click Save to save the changes for the selected user or group.

    You can edit the profile at anytime. Changes for users are effective when a user downloads the updated profile.

The profile is now available for users to download using the user portal. If the profile is assigned to a managed device, the device is sent a push notification from Profile Manager to download and install the updated profile. To see if a device has checked in and received the updated profile, view the Profile Manager activity in the sidebar.
