This policy optimizes your energy usage by configuring power-related settings for macOS computers enrolled in Mobile Device Management (MDM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create a schedule that manages energy-saving habits. For example, when inactive devices go into sleep mode, when a laptop computer switches to AC or battery power, or when inactive hard drives spin down. This policy works on devices running macOS 11 and later that are enrolled in MDM. The user cannot change or modify the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
