In the Configuration area, you can create and manage profiles. Currently, only managing standard and priority profiles is possible. For more information on profiles, see Profiles in the IGEL UMS.

Menu path: UMS Web App > Configuration

Profiles for IGEL OS 12 and IGEL OS 11 Devices

  • The procedure for creating profiles for IGEL OS 12 and IGEL OS 11 devices is different. If you want to configure, for example, Chromium browser settings for your IGEL OS 12 and IGEL OS 11 devices, you have to create two profiles – one for OS 12 devices and another for OS 11 devices.
  • Profiles for IGEL OS 12 devices can only be created and changed in the UMS Web App. It is not possible to create/edit them in the UMS Console. 
  • Profiles for IGEL OS 11 devices can be created and edited in the UMS Console and the UMS Web App.

Settings activated for the newly created profiles as well as setting changes are displayed in the UMS Web App under Activated Settings not immediately, but after the next reindexing, which is executed, in this case, with a one-day interval.

Priority profiles have to be first enabled in the UMS Console under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS Features, see Priority Profiles in the IGEL UMS. The node Priority Profiles will appear under UMS Web App > Configuration. After that, you can create priority profiles in the same way as the standard profiles, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.


You can structure profiles by creating directories and subdirectories.



1Configuration Tree

Shows all created profile directories and subdirectories with the specification of the number of profiles assigned to them.

To create a profile, click . For more information, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.

 To delete a profile directory, click . Currently, only empty directories can be deleted.

 To move a profile directory to another directory, select the relevant directory and move it per drag & drop to the desired directory or use [Ctrl + X], [Ctrl + V].

 To move the profile to another directory, navigate to the relevant profile in the profile list and move it per drag & drop to the desired directory.

It is currently not possible to copy profiles in the UMS Web App.
