How to set it up

1

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
2

Select targeting

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

Modifying or removing the control

Disable the control from the profile settings. Disabling stops enforcement but does not remove existing configurations from devices.

How it works

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