Choose update ownership

The managed starter profile sets SilmarilUpdateAuthority to mdm. A package install alone leaves update ownership to the configured setting.

Choose a channel

Use Stable for the standard deployment path. Select Nightly deliberately for a pilot. Install lists the current artifacts and channel behavior. Under MDM authority, changing SilmarilUpdateChannel selects a preference while your MDM remains responsible for package delivery.

Deploy and verify

For app-owned updates, use the app’s update controls. For MDM, follow the update section for Jamf Pro, Iru, or Fleet. Keep profile and payload identities intact when replacing managed policy. On a pilot Mac, verify the release, connection, and fresh agent activity before expanding the update. See managed settings for update keys and accepted values.
