What are Custom Profiles?
Custom profiles, which end in a .mobileconfig extension, are XML files that contain settings and authorization information for Apple devices. These profiles are based on Apple's Mobile Device Management (MDM) framework and are used to configure and manage device settings securely and wirelessly.
Kandji supports Custom Profiles deployed to the System Channel. You do not need to sign custom profiles before uploading them to Kandji.
