Profiles

---

A profile is an additional preference level for the application that takes priority over the usual preferences. The operating system manages all profiles and preferences. It allows applications to use only the preferences that the operating system gets from profiles, preferences, or both.

To use profile preferences in the application, profiles must have the correct application domain specified:

You can use following settings to create custom profiles:

 

Setting	Key	Type	Description
License Key	ProfileLicenseKey	String	License key for offline MindManager Default: Empty
Google Drive	GoogleDriveEnabled	Boolean	Enable or disable connection to Google Drive. Default: True
OneDrive	OneDriveEnabled	Boolean	Enable or disable connection to OneDrive. Default: True
SharePoint	SharePointPlaceEnabled	Boolean	Enable or disable connection to SharePoint. Default: True
Analytics	EnableTracking	Boolean	Enable or disable ability to gather analytics information Default: True
Updates	AllowUpdateCheck	Integer	Manage ability to check and download the latest version of MindManager. • 0 — disable updates and hide the Check for Updates command in the Help menu • 1 — enable updates • 2 — enable updates if the user has rights to install the software Default: 2
Internet connection	InternetConnectionEnabled	Boolean	Enable or disable connection for all settings at once: • Google Drive • OneDrive • SharePoint • Tracking • Updates Default: True

To create a profile file with a .mobileconfig extension

You can use any MDM solution, such as ProfileCreator or iMazing Profile Creator. Here’s an example of the profile that you can use for MindManager:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

</dict>

</plist>

PayloadUUID is the globally unique identifier for the payload. The actual content is unimportant, but must be globally unique. In macOS, use uuidgen to generate a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). You can run this command in the Terminal app and replace <UUID1> with the generated ID. To replace <UUID2>, generate another ID. For more information about profiles, consult Apple support for Configuring Multiple Devices Using Profiles Platform.

Other profiles

You can also create system profiles to hide or display System Preferences. This can be useful if you want to hide Profiles from the user. To create system profiles, you can also use Apple Configurator, in addition to a range of third-party tools.

This feature was deprecated by Apple and only works on macOS 13.0 and earlier.

Admin control panel

Profiles have the same logic as Admin control panel, but for offline builds of MindManager for Mac. Profiles do not affect the MindManager for Mac builds that are online; the MindManager Admin Panel takes priority.
