As an IT Admin with Manager role permissions or higher, you can manage when major OS upgrades and minor updates are available and applied to your devices. Configuring a required installation window lets users choose the most convenient time to perform an OS update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>Enforced major upgrades utilize Mobile Device Management (MDM) software install commands and do not require end user interaction or Admin permissions. For minor updates, when the deadline expires the policy then forces a minor OS update to be automatically downloaded and installed using the MDM software install commands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>OS patch policies let you delay an update in order to thoroughly test it before rolling it out. For example, you can set up a deployment ring of early adopters, control which OS version they install, and when they will install it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create a universal browser policy to keep Google Chrome up to date for macOS, Windows, and Linux. This universal browser patch policy works for all OS types, and remotely schedules and enforces Google Chrome updates on all devices. This policy saves you time and helps you keep a large number of devices compliant and up to date.
