Getting started

Set up your fleet and enrol your first Mac.

How ownMDM works

The five ideas behind ownMDM — check-in, manifests, catalogs, groups, and compliance — and why the Macs come to you rather than the other way round.

Enrolling your first Mac

Enrol a Mac into ownMDM in about five minutes — from generating an enrolment link to confirming the device has checked in.

Self-hosting ownMDM

Run ownMDM on your own server — what the community edition includes, what you need to provide, and how it differs from the hosted platform.

Devices

Manage, group, and inspect the Macs you look after.

Managing your devices

Find any Mac in your fleet, read what it is telling you, and act on it — filters, the device view, and what each status actually means.

Using saved filters

Build groups of Macs that maintain themselves — describe the machines you care about once, and let membership follow the fleet as it changes.

Software

Package, approve, and deploy apps across the fleet.

Deploying software to your fleet

Upload an app, test it on a few Macs, then roll it out to everyone — without touching a single machine by hand.

The app catalog and requests

How apps become available to your people — the three catalog layers, self-service in MacStore, and handling the requests that come back.

Compliance

Understand device health, policies, and reporting.

Understanding compliance status

What makes a Mac compliant, how to read the compliance view, and what to do about the machines that are not.

Administration

Users, roles, tenants, and day-to-day operations.

Users, roles, and permissions

Give people the access they need and no more — the roles, the difference between viewing and managing, and how single sign-on fits in.

Still stuck?

If a guide did not answer your question, we would rather hear about it than have you work around it. Email us, check current platform status, or open the console and use the in-app help.
