Setup Assistant
Published by Apple, Inc.
The Setup Assistant profile configures the Setup Assistant experience for new or freshly-installed Apple devices, controlling which panes and prompts users encounter during initial system setup. Customize screens such as Apple ID sign-in, Touch ID enrollment, Siri configuration, analytics consent, and iCloud settings to streamline onboarding and enforce organizational policies. Deploy this profile to standardize the out-of-box experience, reduce setup time for end users, skip unnecessary configuration steps, or ensure compliance with privacy and security requirements during device provisioning.
Streamline device provisioning and deliver a consistent, branded onboarding experience by customizing Setup Assistant screens for Apple devices enrolled through Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). This configuration enables IT administrators to skip unnecessary setup steps, pre-configure essential settings, and reduce time-to-productivity for new employees while maintaining security and compliance standards. This enrollment configuration is essential for organizations implementing zero-touch deployment strategies, particularly for remote employees or large-scale device rollouts where consistent configuration and rapid deployment are critical to operational efficiency.
Standardize device identification across your Apple devices with automated naming conventions. Configure consistent, meaningful device names for Apple endpoints that reflect your organizational structure—whether by department, location, user, or asset ID. Eliminate manual naming inconsistencies and ensure devices are instantly identifiable in your management console, network logs, and inventory systems for streamlined asset tracking and support workflows.
Deliver a consistent, organized user experience by controlling app placement and folder structure on iPhone and iPad Home Screen. Define exactly which apps appear, their precise locations, and how they're grouped across pages and the dock—ensuring employees have immediate access to business-critical tools while maintaining a professional, standardized interface. Eliminate user customization variability and reduce support calls by presenting a curated, role-specific app layout from day one.
