Learn about the Setup Assistant Library Item in macOS Sequoia
What is Setup Assistant?
Setup Assistant is a built-in feature in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS that helps users configure their devices out of the box. It's typically encountered when setting up a new device or after a factory reset; on Mac computers, it also appears when creating new local user accounts and after some OS upgrades.
How Managing Setup Assistant Works
Kandji admins can use a Setup Assistant Library Item to streamline the setup process for end users. This allows admins to skip certain setup steps, making it easier for users to get started. The Setup Assistant Library Item is compatible with iOS and iPadOS 14 and later, and macOS 15 and later.
