Swif policies let you enforce device settings consistently across your fleet. You can assign a policy directly to individual devices, or (recommended) to device groups so new devices automatically inherit the right configuration.
Before you start
- Make sure target devices are enrolled and online.
- If you plan to assign by group, create your device groups first.
1) Go to Policy Management > Create new policy.
2) Choose a recommended template (compliance-required) or start from scratch.
3) Select the target OS (macOS, Windows, or Both) for the template.
4) If starting from scratch, choose the policy type you want to add.
5) Enter the policy name, description, and any conditions. Click Continue.
Note, that the "—" sign will set the value to null ("unset" option) because there are some boolean fields that have an "unset" option.
If a boolean field is not required, the input will have 3 options "unset", "true", and "false".
If a boolean field has a null default value, you will see the "—" sign as the default option.
Otherwise, if a boolean field is required, it will only have 2 options "true" and "false".
6) Assign the policy to devices now, or click Continue to assign by device groups in the next step.
7) (Recommended) Select one or more device groups to assign the policy to.
8) Review the details. If needed, click Back to edit. Otherwise click Finish to deploy.
What happens next
Swif will begin deploying the policy to the selected devices/groups. You can monitor status in the policy report and confirm the policy is enforced on a test device before rolling out broadly.
