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 โ 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.
The direct assignment of OS 12 profiles to OS 11 devices is not possible, and vice versa. If you assign an OS 12 profile to an OS 11 device indirectly, i.e. via a directory structure, the settings from the OS 12 profile are ignored for the OS 11 device (and vice versa).
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.
1 | Configuration Tree | Shows all created profile directories and subdirectories. The format (x/y) specifies 1) the number of profiles contained directly in the directory and 2) the total number of profiles in the directory & all subdirectories of this directory.
It is currently not possible to copy profiles in the UMS Web App, but you can use the export and import profile function, instead. See Exporting and Importing Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App. |
2 | Profile list | Shows all profiles contained in the directory selected in the Configuration Tree.
|
3 | Directory information | Details for the directory selected in the Configuration Tree. [Directory Name]: The name of the selected directory Properties: Properties of the selected directory, e.g. the full Directory Path, Number of contained devices |
4 | Profile information | Details for the profile selected in the profile list [Profile Name]: The name of the selected profile
Overwrite sessions option should be activated only in exceptional cases. With this option, you can override free instances of all other profiles. Detailed information on this option can be found under Creating Profiles in the IGEL UMS.

For details on the file transfer, see Files - Registering Files on the IGEL UMS Server and Transferring Them to Devices. 1: Allows to quickly add the file to the profile. To use the option, you should already know the file name or its part. 2: Filters the files added to the profile according to the entered string. 3: Detaches the selected file from the profile. | |
Assigned Devices | Shows all devices the selected profile is assigned to. 1: Allows to quickly assign the selected profile to the device or device directory. To use the option, you should already know the name of the device / device directory or its part. 2: Filters the devices / device directories assigned to the selected profile. The filter criteria are linked with the operator AND. 3: Detaches the selected device / device directory from the profile. 4: Jumps to the corresponding device / directory and shows all Assigned Objects for it. | |
