Use iOS and iPadOS restriction policies to control how users interact with managed Apple devices. By applying these policies, you can manage general usage, network settings, app installations, and cloud access to ensure all devices remain secure and compliant with your organization's standards.
With SuperOps’ multi-tenancy feature, you can set up and manage specific access restrictions for each client.
You can apply restrictions across multiple categories, including:
General: Core system and feature access
Security: Authentication and data protection controls
Network: Connectivity and pairing management
Apps: App installation, browsing, and media usage
iCloud & Apple ID: Cloud sync and Apple Intelligence controls
These restrictions work together to help you protect company data, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure devices operate according to your organization’s policies.
