Description
Software updates can be deferred using a Jamf School profile with the Restrictions payload configured. Requirements for the deferments are listed in Jamf School; they depend on the OS and deferment option you choose.
The default time for deferral is 30 days but can be extended up to 90 days. It cannot be extended past 90 days due to the limits set in the MDM protocol.
