Set up the control

1

Go to MDM > Controls > Add new control

Select Automatic app and OS updates.
2

Choose which updates to automate

Toggle on the update behaviors you want to enforce:
  • Download newly available updates in the background
  • Automatically install macOS updates
  • Automatically install App Store app updates
  • Automatically install security updates
3

Select targeting

Choose which devices to apply the control to: all macOS devices, specific device groups, or a custom target.

​
How it works

Primo pushes an MDM configuration payload that controls macOS Software Update behavior. Enabled toggles override the employee’s local Software Update preferences — employees cannot disable the configured update behaviors.

​
Modify or remove the control

Open the control from MDM > Controls to edit or disable it. Disabling stops enforcement but does not remove existing configurations from devices.
