Apple supervision enables device owners and IT admins to configure added security settings on iPhones and iPads. Without supervision, these devices can be enrolled into an iOS MDM solution.
Supervision gives the total control and management of the device to the device owner/ IT admins. If iPhones and iPads are not supervised, the device user can access functionalities such as Factory Reset and get the device out of MDM enrollment. Supervision gives additional security by restricting access to applications and functionalities that can compromise the device security.
Once a device is supervised,the end-user cannot override settings for Airdrop, Find my iPhone, iMessage, GPS and app installation. This gives IT admins the control to configure granular-level settings on company-owned devices.
