SuperOps integrates with Apple’s Apps and Books service, allowing you to sync, manage, and deploy licensed applications purchased through Apple Business Manager (ABM) directly from your SuperOps console.
You can purchase apps and manage licenses through Apple Business Manager (ABM). For detailed setup instructions, refer to Apple’s official guide::Apple Deployment: Apps and Books
How to configure the Apps and Books integration
Navigate to Settings > MDM Configurations and select the Apps and Books tab. This is where you will manage app distribution and licenses.
Click the Add Token button to begin linking your Apple Business Manager account.
If your organization uses location-specific tokens in Apple Business Manager (ABM), you can generate individual tokens for each location. These tokens will automatically bring in the apps and licenses associated with that specific location and map them to the corresponding sites in SuperOps.
Alternatively, if your apps and licenses are not tied to a specific location, you can associate a single token with all sites in SuperOps.
Next, you need to download the content token from your Apple Business Manager (ABM) account. Use the 'Go to Apple Business Manager' link for quick access. Once logged into ABM, you'll need to navigate to the token download area from your profile settings.
From the navigation panel, click Preferences.
Under Preferences, select Payments and Billing.
On the Payments and Billing page, ensure you are on the 'Apps and Books' tab. Scroll down to the 'Content Tokens' list, find the correct token for your MDM server, and click Download.
Note: Content tokens for each location can be fetched and assigned to the corresponding site in SuperOps.Return to SuperOps. In the 'Upload Token File' window, drag and drop the downloaded token file or click to browse and upload it.
Choose the Enrollment Scope for the token. You can apply it to All Sites or select Specific Sites from the dropdown menu.
Finally, enter an email address to receive notifications before the token expires. Click Save to complete the setup.
Managing your Apps and Books token
Once saved, your token will appear in the 'Apps and Books' list, displaying its name, assigned sites, notification email, and expiry date.
From here, you can manage your applications:
Click View Apps to see a list of all software available through this token, along with the total and available license counts for each app.
Click Manage Token to open the 'Edit Details' window. Here, you can update the token name, change the enrollment scope, or modify the notification email.
With your Apps and Books integration configured, you can now efficiently deploy and manage applications across all your managed iOS and iPadOS devices directly from SuperOps.
