</Note>

### How It Works

Self Service is distributed through Apple Business or Apple School Manager and automatically installs on managed devices. Users can browse available applications, install approved software, and access device information through an intuitive interface designed for mobile and visionOS platforms.

### Acquiring Licenses for Self Service from Apple Business or Apple School Manager

Before installing Iru Self Service on iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS devices, acquire licenses for the app. Follow the instructions to [add apps from Apps and Books to Iru Endpoint](/en/endpoint/settings/apple-integrations/add-apps-from-apps-and-books-to-iru-endpoint), and search for "Iru Self Service", or the app ID of 1579981636, in Apple Business or Apple School Manager. Be sure to acquire enough licenses for each iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS device you wish to have Self Service installed on.

### Installing Self Service

Add the **Iru Self Service** Library Item to Blueprints you're using for iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS devices, either from the **Iru Self Service** Library Item in **Library**, or individually on each Blueprint as needed. Self Service will then install automatically on company-owned supervised devices. For devices enrolled through the Iru Endpoint Enrollment Portal, users will need to agree to install Self Service on their devices when prompted.

### Configuring Return to Service in Self Service

Return to Service is an option available for devices running iOS and iPadOS 17 or later. It will cause the device to automatically advance through Setup Assistant and re-enroll without user intervention after it has been erased. For more information on Return to Service, see our [Erase a Device](/en/endpoint/devices/device-actions/erase-a-device#return-to-service-ios-ipados-17) support article.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable Self Service Option">
    Under Options, check **Add to Self Service**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Wi-Fi Profile">
    Optionally, configure a Wi-Fi profile to allow the device network access after erase.

</Warning>

* Cellular devices and devices connected via Ethernet do not require the Wi-Fi profile
