OS updates for automated device enrollment (iOS only)

    • Suspension of management of the configuration: The management of the selected restrictions configuration (for example, iOS Restrictions Configuration) is suspended until you approve the priority.

    After priority is enabled, any changes in the restrictions are not processed until they are approved. Before approving, the admin can edit the distribution, distribution summary, or priority for restrictions configuration in the Configurations section.

  • No priority is assigned: Assigned priority is removed for selected restrictions configuration
