As an admin, you can configure various options that affect the macOS Intelligent Hub application. Use these settings to determine how often to collect data from devices, to allow passcode enforcement through Hub message prompts, to allow AirWatch Cloud Messaging so that devices receive push notifications and information about updates when available, and to choose how and when to allow updates.
The path to the Apple macOS Hub Settings page on the UEM console is Groups & Settings > All Settings > Apple > Apple macOS > Intelligent Hub Settings.
What can you do with the Apple macOS Intelligent Hub Settings page?
With the Apple macOS Intelligent Hub Settings page, you can:
- Download the latest version of VMware Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub.
- Collect and send data samples to the Intelligent Hub UEM server.
- Enable security and privacy options.
- Enter Scripts & Sensors path for running Bash or Python scripts.
- Enable Intelligent Hub automatic updates and version upgrades.
Determine your Organization group hierarchy
Before you review and modify the settings, understand the two types of inheritance/override options for the organization group hierarchy available at the top and bottom of the settings page and determine your choice. For more information about these settings, see Override Versus Inherit Setting for Organization Groups.
- Current Setting – Select whether to Inherit or Override the displayed settings. Inherit means use the settings of the current organization group's parent OG, while Override enables the settings for editing so you can modify the current OG's settings directly.
- Child Permission – Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.
