What are configuration profiles?
Custom profiles, ending in a .mobileconfig extension are listed settings in an XML format and based on Apple's MDM framework. When installed on a device, these profiles change and manage the settings outlined. These changes are preserved until the profiles are removed.
Kandji supports Custom Profiles deployed to the System Channel. You do not need to sign custom profiles before uploading them to Kandji.
