# Deploy Device Protection with Omnissa Workspace ONE

Use Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM to deploy Aikido Device Protection across your managed macOS fleet with the required permissions in place.

{% hint style="info" %}
All devices must be enrolled in Workspace ONE UEM before you begin.
{% endhint %}

## Installation

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**What you'll need**

Before starting, make sure you have the following from the Aikido Device Protection dashboard:

* The **Aikido Device Protection `.mobileconfig`** (downloaded from the [Aikido Device Protection dashboard](https://app.aikido.dev/endpoint-protection/devices))
* The **Aikido Device Protection installer** (`.pkg` file, downloaded from the dashboard)

If you're missing any of these, go back to the [Aikido Device Protection dashboard](https://app.aikido.dev/endpoint-protection/devices), click **Connect Device**, and complete the pre-flight steps.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add the Aikido Device Protection configuration profile**

1. In the Workspace ONE UEM console, go to **Resources** → **Profiles and Baselines**.
2. Click **Add**, then **Upload Profile**.
3. Select **macOS** and upload the `.mobileconfig` file.
4. Click **Save and Continue**.
5. Assign the profile to the target smart group.
6. Click **Save & Publish**.

This profile allows the Aikido Device Protection system extension to load silently, enables the network content filter, and stops users from disabling background services in System Settings → Login Items.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Upload the Aikido Device Protection installer**

1. Generate a `.plist` metadata file for the package using the Omnissa Admin Assistant Tool: drag and drop the `.pkg` onto the tool.
2. In the Workspace ONE UEM console, go to **Resources** → **Apps** → **Native** → **Internal**.
3. From the **Add** dropdown, select **Application File**.
4. Upload the Aikido Device Protection `.pkg` and click **Save**, then **Continue**.
5. Upload the generated `.plist` metadata file and click **Save**, then **Continue**.
6. Assign the app to the same smart group and publish.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Deploy in the right order**

Deploy the configuration profile before the installer for a smoother rollout.

1. Save and publish the **Aikido Device Protection** configuration profile.
2. Verify it is installed on a test device (Workspace ONE doesn't guarantee delivery order within a smart group).
3. Publish the **Aikido Device Protection** app.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Reboot devices after installation**

1. In the Workspace ONE UEM console, go to **Devices** → **List View**.
2. Filter to the target smart group, select all devices, and click **More Actions** → **Restart**.

The agent fully activates on the next boot.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify the deployment**

On a test device, confirm:

1. The system extension is activated:

   ```bash
   systemextensionsctl list | grep aikido
   ```

   Expect to see the extension marked `[activated enabled]`.
2. Open **System Settings** → **General** → **Login Items & Extensions** and confirm the Aikido Device Protection entries cannot be toggled off.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                              | Fix                                                                                                  |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Users still see the popup                            | Make sure the configuration profile is scoped correctly and installed before the package policy runs |
| Extension is waiting for user approval               | Check the System Extensions payload and confirm the team ID and bundle ID match exactly              |
| The package installs but the device does not connect | Confirm the token script ran before the package install and that the token was copied correctly      |
| Duplicate extension entries appear                   | Reboot the device                                                                                    |
| The content filter is not approved silently          | Re-upload the `.mobileconfig` profile and verify it is installed on the device                       |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/aikido-device-protection/deploying-aikido-endpoint/device-protection-mdm-guides/device-protection-mdm-for-macos/deploy-aikido-endpoint-with-workspace-one.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
