Create and edit configuration profiles in Apple Configurator
You can create or import a single configuration profile that contains all of the settings you need, or you can create and add multiple configuration profiles, each with a particular selection of settings.
Create a configuration profile
Use the Profile Editor to create configuration profiles. You can sign configuration profiles to make sure they aren’t edited by anyone after you create them. You don’t need to plug devices into your Mac to create profiles.
In Apple Configurator
, choose File > New Profile.
A new configuration profile document window appears.
In the General settings pane, fill in the Name and Identifier fields.
To add a payload, select it from the list on the left, click Configure, then enter the settings.
Required values are marked with the required value icon
. If the payload type allows multiple payloads, click the Add Payload button
in the upper-right corner of the payload settings pane to add another.
If you want to sign the profile, choose File > Sign Profile, choose your certificate from the pop-up menu, then click OK.
If you don’t want to sign the profile, go to step 5.
Choose File > Save, name the profile, choose where to save it, then click Save.
Edit a configuration profile
In Apple Configurator
, choose File > Open, then locate the configuration profile on your Mac.
If the configuration profile is signed, choose File > Unsign Profile.
Do one of the following:
Remove a payload: Select this option, then click Remove Payload in the upper-right corner of the payload settings pane.
Add a payload: Select this option in the list on the left, then edit the settings.
If you want to sign the profile, choose File > Sign Profile, choose your certificate from the pop-up menu, then click OK.
After you’ve finished editing the profile, choose File > Save.
