Controlling how devices connect to work resources
In the Policies and Profiles library, you can create and manage profiles that control how devices connect to work resources. You can use profiles to specify the certificates that devices can use for authentication and the settings that devices use to connect to a work mail server, proxy server, work VPN, and work Wi-Fi network.
The following table lists profiles in the order that you should create them. You can associate profiles listed earlier with profiles listed later. For example, if you create a Wi-Fi profile first, you cannot associate a proxy profile with the Wi-Fi profile when you create it. After you create a proxy profile, you must change the Wi-Fi profile to associate the proxy profile with it.
