Submit a Profile Change Request for Approval
Use this task to submit a profile change for approval. After saving and assigning a profile, SOTI MobiControl prompts the user to submit the change for review. The profile remains locked until an approver accepts or rejects the request.
Before you begin
- Ensure the Profile Approval Feature is enabled in Global Settings. See Global Settings.
- Assign the Read & Write with Approval permission to administrators who need
to make changes to protected profiles. See Editing Profile Access Permissions for details.Note: To allow administrators to create profiles without requiring approval, assign them the Bypass Approval on Profile Creation permission. See General Permissions.
- Assign the Approve Profile Request permission to administrators designated as profile approvers. See General Permissions.
About this task
When you create or modify a profile, SOTI MobiControl does not apply the changes to devices immediately. Instead, it sends the profile for approval. An approver must review and approve or reject the configuration before deployment.
Procedure
To submit a profile change request:
- Navigate to the SOTI MobiControl main menu, then select Profiles.
- In the Profiles section, create or edit a profile. See Creating a Profile or Editing a Profile.
- After modifying the profile, select Save and Assign. A Submit Approval Request window opens.
- Enter a comment, then select Submit.
