Configuring 
AirPlay
 profiles for 
iOS
 devices

You can configure 
AirPlay
 profiles and assign them to devices that run 
iOS
 7 or later. 
AirPlay
 is an 
iOS
 feature that lets you display photos or stream music and video to compatible 
AirPlay
 devices such as 
Apple
TV, AirPort Express, or 
AirPlay
 enabled speakers.
With an 
AirPlay
 profile you can set passwords for specific 
AirPlay
 devices to make sure that only authorized users can access them. You can also create an allowed list of destination devices to make sure that supervised 
iOS
 devices can only connect to the 
AirPlay
 devices that you specify. You can assign 
AirPlay
 profiles to user accounts, user groups, or device groups.
Example: Set a password for an 
AirPlay
 device
If you want to restrict access to a specific 
AirPlay
 device, add the name of the device and set a password. 
iOS
 device users with that 
AirPlay
 profile will have to type the password to access that 
AirPlay
 device. Note that the password is required by the 
AirPlay
 profile, not by the 
AirPlay
 device itself. 
iOS
 device users who don't have that 
AirPlay
 profile can still access the 
AirPlay
 device without the password.
Example: Create a list of 
AirPlay
 devices for supervised 
iOS
 devices
If you want to allow supervised 
iOS
 devices to stream content only to specific devices, you can add the device ID. Supervised devices will only be able to stream content to the devices that you specify. Devices that are not supervised will not be affected by this list.
