MDM-enabled local user accounts allow you to manage the following user-specific settings on computers:

  • Deploy user-level configuration profiles.

  • Receive the EDU profile via the user channel for managed classes.

    For more information, see Classes.

In most Jamf Pro enrollment scenarios, the primary local user account is MDM-enabled when an MDM profile is installed during enrollment. In a computer's General inventory record, the MDM Capability attribute determines if a computer has an MDM-enabled local user.

When the primary user on the computer is not MDM-enabled, the computer must be removed from management and re-enrolled with Jamf Pro to change the MDM-enabled user. For more information, see Unmanaging Computers.
