If you supervise and deploy devices using Apple Configurator and Jamf Pro, you can use a supervision identity to pair supervised devices with multiple Apple Configurator workstations that have the same supervision identity. A supervision identity can be applied to a device by pairing the device with an Apple Configurator workstation or by enrolling the device with Jamf Pro using a PreStage enrollment configured with an Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP) instance that has a supervision identity.

Supervision identity certificate (.p12) files can be created with Jamf Pro or Apple Configurator, and you can store it in Jamf Pro for use with other Apple Configurator workstations or add it to an Automated Device Enrollment instance to associate it with devices that enroll with a PreStage enrollment.

Note:

To ensure devices are paired securely with each Apple Configurator workstation, the workstations you are using must have matching supervision identities. If the wrong identity is applied to a device, the device must be wiped, re-supervised, and re-enrolled to change the identity.

For more information about supervision identities, see the Apple Configurator User Guide.
