Configuring AirPrint and AirPlay profiles for iOS devices
AirPrint
and AirPlay
profiles for iOS
devicesAirPrint
profiles can help users find printers that support AirPrint
, are accessible to them, and for which they have the required permissions. In situations where protocols such as Bonjour
can't discover AirPrint
enabled printers on another subnetwork, AirPrint
profiles aid in specifying where resources are located. You can assign AirPrint
profiles to iOS
devices so that users don’t have to configure printers manually. 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
deviceIf 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
devicesIf 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.
