This guide applies to Mac computers
Label
Add a Label to distinguish this Library Item from other instances of the same Auto App (e.g., “For Marketing, Notifications Off”). Labels are not displayed to end users; they appear only in the Iru admin interface. Use labels when you add the same Auto App multiple times with different Blueprint assignments or settings.Assignment (Blueprint)
Under Assignment → Assignment Maps, use Blueprint and + Assign to control which devices or users receive this Auto App. Assign the Library Item to the Blueprint(s) that should receive it.Installation method
Under Installation, choose how the Auto App is installed:- Continuously enforce — The app is installed and kept up to date automatically on assigned devices.
- Install on-demand from Self Service — The app is not pushed; users install it from Self Service when ready.
- Update only — Updates are enforced if the app is already installed, but the app is not installed on new computers and is not made available in Self Service.
Self Service
Under Self Service, add this Library Item to Self Service by turning on the Available in Self Service toggle. Then configure:- Category — Specify the Self Service category this Library Item displays under. Categories help users find apps in the Self Service library. Recommended items are also displayed in a “Recommended” section at the top of the Self Service library page and categories list.
- Recommended — When selected, the item appears in that Recommended section.
Self Service customization
Click Customize to change the name and content that display in Self Service. The description is shown on the item detail page in Self Service.Customize name
Turn on the toggle to override the default Library Item name displayed in Self Service. Enter a custom name (maximum 30 characters).

Require users to read the description before installing

Manage app versions
Choose how updates are managed for the Auto App. When enforcement is used, devices always install the latest available version approved by Iru Endpoint.Do not manage updates
Iru Endpoint does not enforce a version of the application. Existing installations are left as-is.Automatically enforce new updates
Updates are enforced automatically after release. You set an Enforcement Timeframe (how long after release), Enforcement Time Zone, and Enforcement Time.Configure Enforcement Timeframe
Select the Enforcement Timeframe — the amount of time after an update is released before it is automatically enforced.Available options: 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months
Set Enforcement Time Zone
Select the Enforcement Time Zone to determine when the update is enforced.
Set Enforcement Time
Select the Enforcement Time (the time of day the update is enforced). Enforcement is determined server-side from the selected Enforcement Time Zone (e.g., 5:00 PM PST applies in each device’s local time per that zone).
Manually enforce a minimum version
Specify a minimum version (the “floor”) and an Enforcement Deadline. Useful for critical security updates or aligning devices to a version by a date. Devices below the minimum receive the latest Iru-approved version when they update.Select Minimum Version
Select the Minimum Version of the application to enforce. Devices that do not meet this requirement receive the latest available version when they update.
Set Enforcement Deadline
Set the Enforcement Deadline (the date by which the minimum version must be met).
Set Enforcement Time Zone
Select the Enforcement Time Zone to determine when the update is enforced.
Auto App notifications
When notification settings are modified, an updated Configuration Profile is not redistributed until the next daily MDM check-in. To trigger an immediate check-in, run sudo update-mdm on the client Mac.- Unsupported — If an Auto App does not post to Notification Center, notifications are not available to customize.
- Unmanaged — End users control notification settings. This is the default when an Auto App is added and configured for the first time.
- Managed — A Configuration Profile with a notifications payload is installed alongside the Auto App. Use the following steps to configure it:
Enable notification management
Turn on the toggle to enforce management of notifications for the Auto App.
Allow or disallow notifications
Set whether notifications are allowed or disallowed. If disallowed, no further options are available and notifications are disabled for the Auto App.
Set notification style
Select None (available in Notification Center only), Banner (default; upper-right corner, auto-dismiss), or Alert (stays until dismissed).
Configure critical alerts
Optionally enable critical alerts so the app can ignore Do Not Disturb and ringer settings.
Configure lock screen and Notification Center
Toggle Show notifications on lock screen and Show in Notification Center.
Options
At the end of the Auto App configuration, the Options section includes the following:- Add to Dock during install — When enabled, Iru adds the app icon to the Dock during initial app install, or during re-install if the app is found to be missing. Iru does not automatically re-add the icon to the Dock if the app is updated.
- Run preinstall script — The script runs before the app is installed. It must have an exit code of 0 to be considered successful.
- Run postinstall script — The script runs after the app is installed. It must have an exit code of 0 to be considered successful.
