Identification MDM payload settings for Apple devices
You can configure Identification settings for Mac computers enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the Identification payload to save names of the account user and prompt text. If the username is left blank, they must provide this information when installing the profile.
The Identification payload supports the following. For more information, see Payload information.
Supported payload identifier: com.apple.configurationprofile.identification
Supported operating systems and channels: macOS device, macOS user.
Supported enrolment types: User Enrolment, Device Enrolment, Automated Device Enrolment.
Duplicates allowed: False — only one Identification payload can be delivered to a user or device.
You can use the settings in the table below with the Identification payload.
Setting | Description | Required | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
User Display Name | The full name of the designated accounts. | Yes | |||||||||
Email address | The address for the accounts. | Yes | |||||||||
Username | The user name for the accounts. | Yes | |||||||||
Password | You can provide the password, or choose to have users provide it when they install the profile. | No | |||||||||
Prompt and Prompt Message | Custom instructions for users, if needed. | No | |||||||||
Note: Each MDM vendor implements these settings differently. To learn how various Identification settings are applied to your devices and users, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.
