About Device Lock

The Lock Device command is available on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and Android. It doesn’t require supervision.
A locked device can’t receive an Erase Device MDM command. For more information on erasing a device, see Erase an Apple Device or Erase an Android Device.

​
How It Works

When you lock a device, Iru Endpoint sends an MDM command to the device to immediately secure it. The device will require a passcode to unlock, and you can optionally display a custom message on the lock screen.

Command Behavior for macOS

For macOS devices, the device will be locked with an EFI/Find My PIN code. Once the device receives the command, a 6-digit PIN will automatically be generated and available on the device record.On Mac computers with Apple silicon and on Intel-based Mac computers, the device restarts and locks with the randomly generated PIN once it receives the command.
