How to check if a policy has been deployed on MacOS

Updated this week

After assigning a policy, you may want to confirm it deployed successfully to the intended devices. Related guide: Assigning policies to devices or groups.

Step-by-step (macOS)

1) In Swif, open the policy and review the deployment/status report for the target device (and confirm the device is checking in).

2) On the Mac device, open Apple menu > System Settings.

3) Go to Device Management.

4) Look for the profile/payload installed by the policy (name should match what you configured).

Troubleshooting

- If the profile isn’t present, make sure the device is online and has checked in recently.

- If the device is in the wrong group, it may not be targeted by the policy.

- Some changes apply after a reboot or after the next device check-in.
