Docs › Device Management › Apple MDM › macOS › How to set Safari homepage on macOS

Configuring the homepage allows IT admins to control the content displayed when users launch the browser.

Use the following Plist to set a homepage URL for the Safari browser. Copy the contents from below and import them into the relevant macOS policy.

    <key>PayloadContent</key>
    <array>
        <dict>

            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
            <string>Safari</string>
            <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.apple.Safari.5CF32BFB-0236-4247-BA28-B020EBB3DBFF</string>
            <key>PayloadType</key>
            <string>com.apple.Safari</string>
            <key>PayloadUUID</key>

            <integer>1</integer>

</plist>

Replace the home page URL with the URL that you would like to use in the above Payload. For example:

<key>HomePage</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.io</string>

Once in the Applivery dashboard, head to Device Management > Policies (1) and select the policy where you want to set the homepage URL.

Click the + Add configuration (2) button on the left-hand menu, then click the + Import (3) button.

import chrome xml 1

You can either copy the Plist above or use the Upload XML button to upload a new one.
