Description

Add a policy using the REST API command. When adding a policy you will have the option of saving the policy or saving and publishing the policy. Using the REST API command given below you are able to save a created Policy and this policy will be in the inactive state.

For a better understanding on how this works via the EMM consoles, see Adding a Policy.
For more information on adding an active policy via the REST API, see Adding an Active Policy via the Console.

Resource Path /inactive-policy

URL /mdm-admin/policies/inactive-policy

HTTP Method POST

Request/Response Format application/json

cURL command

Code Block
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <EMM_API_TOKEN>" -d @'<JSON_PAYLOAD>' -k -v https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_HTTPS_PORT>/mdm-admin/policies/inactive-policy

For more information on how to generate the <EMM_API_TOKEN>, see Generating the EMM API Token.
Define the path to the JSON file, which lists the devices that this operation is applied on as the <JSON_PAYLOAD> value. For more information, see the Sample JSON Definition.
By default, <EMM_HOST> is localhost. However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified.
By default, <EMM_HTTPS_PORT> has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by n, the default port value needs to be incremented by n.

For example: policy.json has the device ID's listed as shown under sample request.Example:

Code Block
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -d @'policy.json' -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/policies/inactive-policy
