Profiles (🎯 new feature in 0.4.0)
OpenUEM profiles allows you to group several configuration tasks that will be applied to your Windows endpoints by defining a desired state. Profiles will be available for Linux agents soon.
Right now, you can install or uninstall packages with WinGet, manage registry keys, local users and local groups.
You’ll find the profiles section clicking on the main navigation bar icon.
Create a new profile
The first step is to create a new profile giving it a descriptive name
Now, select on which endpoints you want this profile to be applied to. You can select all the endpoints, those endpoints that have one of the selected tags or no endpoints at all. In this example we’re selecting all the endpoints that have the Human Resources tag.
Add tasks to a profile
A profile is a group of tasks that you want to be applied by the agents to the endpoints. You must add some tasks to define the desired state for your endpoint.
The tasks that you create will be executed in order, and if one of those tasks fail, the agent will try to apply the rest of the defined tasks as the target is to reach your desired state
Start by adding a task that creates a registry entry. You must give a description and then select a task’s type and then a task’s subtype. Now, enter the registry key path and add the task to the profile.
Once the task is added you’ll see a table with the profile’s tasks. If you want to remove a task, you only need to click on the three dots button and select Delete.
If you want to edit the task you can click on the task’s name, but you can only change the task's description, and the settings associated with the current task.
Add another task. This time we are installing Adobe Acrobat from WinGet’s repositories. Once you add the description and select the right task, you only must introduce the first letters of the software that you want to install and select it. You can click on the X to remove your selection and start again.
Applying the profile
Once your profile is ready, OpenUEM agents will check, every 30 minutes, if new profiles are available to apply. If new profiles are ready the agent will apply them using WinGet’s configuration option.
You can increase the frequency that agents check for profiles in Admin -> General Settings.
Checking if the profile was applied successfully
As the profile may apply to several endpoints you must be aware of problems found to apply them.
In the profiles view you’ll see if some errors were found with a warning sign.
If you click on that warning sign, you’ll open a new table showing the endpoints that found problems applying the profile and the error messages next to the task’s type.
