About Parameters
Parameters in Iru Endpoint are pre-built configuration options that you can enable in your Blueprints to manage specific device behaviors and settings. Unlike Library Items that deploy applications or configurations, Parameters control system-level behaviors and user account management across your device fleet.How It Works
Parameters are built-in options that you can toggle on or off in your Blueprints. When enabled, they automatically configure specific system behaviors on managed devices.
