iOS policies
Last updated September 25th, 2024
This page describes the policies you can configure for iOS devices.
The availability of each policy varies depending on the OS version.
Some device settings apply exclusively to either the device or the user. For example, the Wi-Fi configuration applies to the entire device, while the single sign-on settings are specific to the user account. For shared iOS devices, enterprises often separate device and user settings into different Knox Manage profiles. A policy’s scope is determined by its policy channel, which can be:
- Device channel — The policy applies to the entire device and to temporary sessions.
- User channel — The policy applies to the user for the duration of their session. Each user can have different policies. Typically, Knox Manage profiles that use these policies are assigned to user groups rather than device groups.
- Common — The policy can apply through either channel. In case of a collision, the policy value either combines or the last profile applied takes precedence.
