SettingDescription
Default groupDevices enrolled into Securly MDM are enrolled into a device group. Every device must belong to a device group and can only belong to one. Choose the device group where you wish for new devices to be placed from the “Default group” setting. You may change this setting at any time so that any devices enrolling after the change will get automatically enrolled into the newly selected device group.
Setup assistant optionsDuring device setup of a new Apple device, a setup assistant prompts the user for various choices over a series of steps. To allow for faster enrollment, each of these settings can be skipped. Choose any of the options that you want to be prompted for during setup, or leave them all blank for touch-free enrollment.
