Parental Controls device management payload settings for Apple devices
You can configure Parental Controls settings for users of a Mac that enrols in a device management service. Use the Parental Controls payloads to, for example, control access to content, limit the amount of daily Mac use and restrict the hours of use for the Mac.
The Parental Controls payloads support the following. For more information, see Payload information.
Supported payload identifiers: com.apple.applicationaccess.new, com.apple.familycontrols.contentfilter, com.apple.Dictionary, com.apple.gamed, com.apple.familycontrols.timelimits.v2
Supported operating systems and channels: macOS device, macOS user.
Supported enrolment methods: Device Enrolment, Automated Device Enrolment.
Duplicates (single or multiple): Single only one Parental Controls payload can be delivered to a user or device.
You can use the settings in the tables below with the Parental Controls payloads.
