Apple DEP

Date Posted:12 November 2024 

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN EASIER WAY TO MANAGE YOUR DEVICES

The Apple Device Enrolment Program (DEP) provides a fast, streamlined way to deploy both your institution owned Mac or iOS devices (or your students devices as nominated in your BYOD program) when purchased through a participating Apple Reseller. 

Our DEP Reseller ID is 7EA0820

With zero touch deployment, your devices are guided through a setup assistant and once activated are preset to your requirements - straight out of the box. No matter if you are configuring in house or your students are purchasing independently, once the serial number is verified on start up, deployment will be automatic.  Your IT team can further streamline this process by specifying that certain steps in Setup Assistant be skipped — such as screens for Apple ID, passcode, or terms of service.

SIMPLE SUPERVISION

Through DEP, institutions can choose to supervise iOS devices over the air. Supervision provides a higher level of device management, allowing additional restrictions from turning off iMessage or Game Center to customizing specific configurations and features.

Examples of restrictions whe devices are supervised:

  • Allow iMessage
  • Allow Game Center
  • Allow removal of apps
  • Allow iBooks Store
  • Allow podcasts
  • Allow user-generated content in Siri
  • Allow manual installation of configuration files
  • Allow configuring restrictions
  • Allow pairing to computers for content sync
  • Allow AirDrop
  • Allow account modification
  • Allow cellular data settings modification
  • Allow Find My Friends
  • Allow Erase All Content and Settings
  • Restrict AirPlay connections with whitelist and optional connection passcodes
  • Enable Siri Profanity Filter
  • Single App Mode
  • Accessibility settings
