Import Apple configuration profiles

You can import Apple configuration profiles you created in Apple Configurator or got from other sources to install them on iPhones, iPads, or Macs.

To learn more about configuration profiles, see Intro to mobile device management profiles.

Restriction

You can’t import encrypted configuration profiles.

To import a configuration profile, do as follows:

  1. Go to Policies > iOS & iPadOS or macOS.
  2. Select Create > Import policy.
  3. Enter a name and a description.

  4. Select Upload a file and then select the file containing the configuration profile.

    Configuration profile files end in .mobileconfig.

  5. On the Import policy page, select Save.

Sophos Mobile adds the profile to your policies on the Policies - iOS & iPadOS or Policies - macOS page. You can assign it to devices like you assign policies created in Sophos Mobile. See Assign a policy.
