Reinstalling a Revoked Profile

Before you begin

You must have Manage Profiles permission to assign profiles. See General Permissions for more information.

About this task

Reinstalling a revoked profile allows administrators to reassign configuration profiles that were previously revoked from devices or device groups. This feature provides flexibility in managing device compliance by enabling quick reinstatement of necessary configurations without recreating the entire profile.
You can use this feature in the following situations:
  • Reinstate a profile after temporary removal: If you revoked a profile due to a temporary issue or for maintenance purposes, you can reinstall it once the issue is resolved.
  • Recover from accidental revocation: If you revoked a profile by accident, you can reinstall it without needing to create a new profile. This saves time and ensures consistency with the original configuration.
  • Reinforce compliance: If a device was non-compliant and you revoked its profile as a corrective step, you can reinstall it once the device meets compliance requirements again.

Procedure

To reinstall a revoked profile onto your devices:
  1. From the main menu, select Profiles. The Profiles view opens.
  2. Select the revoked profile to open its profile information panel.
  3. From the Profile Actions list, select Assign.
  4. In the Assign dialog box, select the devices, device groups or filters to which you want to reassign the profile. For more information, see Assigning a Profile.
  5. Select Assign to complete the process.
    Tip: In the Profiles view, you can also select More beside the profile and choose Assign from the dropdown list.

Results

You have successfully reassigned a revoked profile onto your device or device groups.
