Configuring Account Driven User Enrollment for iOS 18

In iOS 15, users can sign in with a work or school account through the Settings app to initiate enrollment into mobile device management (MDM).
Setting up Account Driven User Enrollment involves creating a Security Group for personal device enrollment and adding users who are allowed to self-enroll into MDM as members.
Administrators should have their domain federated so that Managed Apple Accounts are automatically created when new users attempt to enrol their devices, but can manually create and assign account IDs for each user.
MDM solutions should be configured for device management with the necessary certificates, including Apple Push Notification certs.
The next step is to build an Enrollment Profile and create the JSON file that directs the device to an MDM server to continue the enrollment process.
Once the JSON file is created and saved with a specific name, it needs to be placed in a hidden directory at the root of the domain on a web server.
The domain listed in the user's email address is then contacted to see if there is a specific JSON file that directs the device to an MDM server. If there is no JSON file found, then the user will receive a message that this service isn’t supported.
Creating the JSON file involves creating a new text file and converting it from rich text format to regular text-only format, then copying and pasting the JSON string template provided by Microsoft. The tenant ID out of the M365 Azure instance is then included.
Once the JSON file is placed in the specified hidden directory, users can begin using Account Driven User Enrollment to onboard their devices.
Once devices are enrolled, User Enrollment profile payloads can be used to deploy apps, apply data security restriction policies, and configure a VPN.

“You Don’t Have Permission to Save Files to This Location” Error on Mac: Fixed

The “You don’t have permission to save files to this location” error message may appear due to permission issues, read-only files, or corrupt files.
Macs use two types of permissions, UNIX file permissions and access control list (ACL) permissions
Resetting the disk permission can reset the permissions for all system-level files using the Repair Disk Function.
The reset password tool can help repair the user account’s home directory permissions back to their default settings.
Ensure that the app trying to save the file has full disk access to troubleshoot this error on your Mac.
Some files are restricted by the user and require adjustments to the read/write permissions for third-party applications on Mac to access them.
Renaming the file can fix a “You don’t have permission to save files to this location” error if editing or saving files is not possible.
If a user permission change makes the important data inaccessible, it is recommended to use reliable data recovery software for Mac to recover lost files.
Reviewing Mac permissions during issues is always a good idea as your Mac won’t automatically repair permissions except while installing an OS upgrade.
Backing up your data on an external drive or Mac’s in-built Time Machine is highly recommended.
