Supervision provides additional control over the configuration and restrictions of a computer or mobile device that is owned by your organization. For example, you can control operating system features (e.g., AirDrop) and manage applications (e.g., set up Single App Mode). With Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, supervision can be enabled as part of the enrollment process with Jamf Pro.
For iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS devices, supervision can be enabled manually using Apple Configurator. A computer with macOS 11 or later is considered supervised when it is enrolled with Jamf Pro. For more information, see About Apple device supervision in Apple Platform Deployment.
Certain mobile device management (MDM) features (e.g., setting restrictions or sending management commands) are available only for supervised computers and devices. For more information, see the following topics in Apple Platform Deployment:
