Supervising Mobile Devices with Apple Configurator
Supervision allows you to control additional functions on a device using Jamf Now. This feature is intended for institutionally-owned mobile devices.
The best way to use supervision is to enroll devices via Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. Any devices that are enrolled with Jamf Now via Automated Device Enrollment through Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager are supervised over the air. Contact your local Apple Business Team to determine if your existing institutionally-owned devices can be added to an Apple deployment account.
If you have devices that are not eligible for inclusion in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, you can supervise them via Apple Configurator, a free app in the Mac App Store.
Any time you enable supervision on a mobile device, the device is wiped.
Apple Configurator 2.5.0 or later
For more information on how to download the latest version of the app, see Apple Configurator.
You can now use Open Enrollment to enroll the device with Jamf Now and take advantage of the additional features that require supervision. For more information, see Enrolling an iPad or iPhone Using Open Enrollment.
