Procedure Settings for Mac Profiles

  • A procedure is a script designed to accomplish a specific task on target devices. For example, you can run procedures to change the permissions on specific folders on a multiple devices, or lock a device after a certain period of time.

  • You can run scripts on Mac devices by adding a 'Procedure' section to a profile. You can create your own script or use one of the library of predefined scripts.

  • New scripts must be approved by an admin before they can be deployed.

  • Note - This section lets you manage the procedures on a specific profile. The procedures themselves are actually created at 'Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Procedures'. Click here for help to create a procedure.

Add procedures to a Mac profile

  • Click 'Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'

  • Open the Mac OS profile you want to work on

  • Click the 'Procedures' tab then 'Edit', if it has already been added to the profile

OR

  • Click 'Add Profile Section' > 'Procedures' if it hasn't yet been added



  • The 'add' screen lets you schedule the procedure and choose various other settings:




Parameter

Description

Procedure Name

Choose an existing procedure by typing the first few characters of the procedure name. Make sure you have already approved the procedure.


See View and Manage Procedures if you want help to create procedures.

Schedule Settings

Custom Schedule


Set a time-slot for the procedure to run on devices which use this profile (optional).

  • Start date - Choose the date of the procedure's first run time.

  • Schedule - Set the frequency at which the procedure should run. The available options are:

    • Once - The procedure will run only once at the time in the 'Start Date'.

    • Daily - The procedure will run every day at your 'Scheduled Time'.

    • Weekly - Select the days of the week that the procedure should run.

    • Monthly - Select the dates of a month that the procedure should run.

  • Scheduled Time - Set the time at which the procedure should run.

  • End-Time Settings (for daily, weekly or monthly frequencies)

    • No end settings - All procedures will run to completion.

    • Run until - Chose a cut-off time from the calendar.

    • Run no more than - Specify how long the procedure should run.

    • Run until the end of the closest maintenance window - The procedure will start at the time you set, and must finish by the end of the first maintenance window after schedule start.

    • For the last three settings, any procedure that does not finish by the cut-off time is aborted and all changes undone.

User Account Options

  • Choose 'Run as system user' or 'Run as logged in user' based on the access rights required for the procedure to run at the endpoint.

Execution Options

The procedure will run on target devices as soon as the profile is applied to the device, in addition to any schedule.


Skip procedure if the device is offline


The procedure will be aborted if the device is not connected to Xcitium at the time of execution.


By default, procedures are queued for later deployment if the device is not connected to Xcitium. The task will be executed as soon as it comes online.

  • Select this option If you do not want the task to be added to the queue.

Report Options
