Safari extensions management declarative configuration for Apple devices
Use the Safari extensions management configuration to provide management of Safari extensions management on iPhone, iPad and Mac devices enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution.
Safari extensions enhance and customise the web browsing experience on iPhone, iPad and Mac. In iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, or later, organisations can now use MDM solutions to manage how Safari extensions are used on supervised devices. For example, a business may want specific extensions installed and turned on to provide access to internal services, or an educational institution may want to prevent students using extensions that provide information that goes against school policy. These extension management features work for standard browsing and Private Browsing, and include:
Defining which extensions are allowed
Controlling which extensions are always on or always off
Configuring an extension to access websites by specific domains and subdomains
The Service configuration files configuration supports the following:
Minimum supported operating systems and channels: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, Shared iPad device, macOS 15 device.
Requires supervision: Yes.
Supported enrolment types: Device Enrolment (macOS), Automated Device Enrolment (iOS, iPadOS, macOS).
Setting | Description | Required | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Any | The composed identifier of the managed extension, or “*” for all extensions. In order for the extension to be managed, its host app must be present on the device. To generate this string use | No | |||||||||
State | Controls whether an extension is allowed. Options are: Allowed Always On Always Off | No | |||||||||
Allowed domains | Controls the domains and sub-domains the extension is granted access to. Any non-prefixed domains take precedence over prefixed domains, and | No | |||||||||
Domain | A domain or set of sub-domains where the extension is allowed. | No | |||||||||
Denied domains | Controls the domains and sub-domains the extension is not allowed to access. Any non-prefixed domains take precedence over prefixed domains, and | No | |||||||||
Domain | A domain or set of sub-domains where the extension is denied. | No | |||||||||
Note: Each MDM vendor implements these settings differently. To learn how various Safari extensions management settings are applied to your devices and users, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.
