# MDM for iOS & iPadOS (Apple)

digiBandit's MDM allows you to easily manage and secure your Apple devices across your organization.
## Enrollment Methods
| Method | Best For | How It Works |
|--------|----------|--------------|
| **Apple Business Manager (ABM)** | New devices purchased through Apple or authorized resellers | Automatic enrollment on first boot, no user action needed |
| **Apple Configurator** | Existing devices | Connect via USB to a Mac running Configurator, enroll in bulk |
| **User Enrollment** | BYOD | User-initiated enrollment that separates work and personal data |
---
## Supervision
Supervised devices provide full management control:
- **App restrictions** - Block or allow specific apps
- **Single App Mode** - Lock device to one app (kiosks, point-of-sale)
- **Silent app install** - Deploy apps without user prompts
- **Content filtering** - Managed web filtering
- **Activation Lock bypass** - Recover devices locked to a former employee's Apple ID
Supervision requires enrollment through ABM or Apple Configurator.

## What We Can Manage

- **Apps** - Deploy internal and App Store apps via Managed Distribution

- **Restrictions** - Control camera, AirDrop, iCloud, Screen Time, and more
