Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation for the macOSGeneralDeviceConfiguration object.

The following table shows the properties that are required when you create the macOSGeneralDeviceConfiguration.

Property	Type	Description
id	String	Key of the entity. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
lastModifiedDateTime	DateTimeOffset	DateTime the object was last modified. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
createdDateTime	DateTimeOffset	DateTime the object was created. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
description	String	Admin provided description of the Device Configuration. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
displayName	String	Admin provided name of the device configuration. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
version	Int32	Version of the device configuration. Inherited from deviceConfiguration
compliantAppsList	appListItem collection	List of apps in the compliance (either allow list or block list, controlled by CompliantAppListType). This collection can contain a maximum of 10000 elements.
compliantAppListType	appListType	List that is in the CompliantAppsList. Possible values are: none, appsInListCompliant, appsNotInListCompliant.
emailInDomainSuffixes	String collection	An email address lacking a suffix that matches any of these strings will be considered out-of-domain.
passwordBlockSimple	Boolean	Block simple passwords.
passwordExpirationDays	Int32	Number of days before the password expires.
passwordMinimumCharacterSetCount	Int32	Number of character sets a password must contain. Valid values 0 to 4
passwordMinimumLength	Int32	Minimum length of passwords.
passwordMinutesOfInactivityBeforeLock	Int32	Minutes of inactivity required before a password is required.
passwordMinutesOfInactivityBeforeScreenTimeout	Int32	Minutes of inactivity required before the screen times out.
passwordPreviousPasswordBlockCount	Int32	Number of previous passwords to block.
passwordRequiredType	requiredPasswordType	Type of password that is required. Possible values are: deviceDefault, alphanumeric, numeric.
passwordRequired	Boolean	Whether or not to require a password.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a macOSGeneralDeviceConfiguration object in the response body.
