# SystemExtensions The payload that configures system extensions. ``` object SystemExtensions ``` ## Discussion Specify `com.apple.system-extension-policy` as the payload type. When there are multiple installed profiles, the keys combine as follows: - `AllowUserOverrides` is `false` if any profile sets it to `false`. - All the other values combine together. Beginning in macOS 11.3, installing or removing this payload can change the state of system extensions on the computer. If a containing application activates a system extension, and the system extension is in a pending state, installing a payload that allows the extension completes the activation process. If a system extension is active, removing a payload that allows the extension deactivates that extension. ### Profile availability ||| |--------------------------|-----| |Device channel |macOS| |User channel |N/A | |Allow manual install |N/A | |Requires supervision |N/A | |Requires user-approved MDM|macOS| |Allowed in user enrollment|N/A | |Allow multiple payloads |macOS| ### Profile example ```plist PayloadContent AllowedExtensions com.apple.share.System.send PayloadIdentifier com.example.mysystemextensionpayload PayloadType com.apple.nsextension PayloadUUID 3b378001-8cff-4bde-a6af-843fdb02f36d PayloadVersion 1 PayloadDisplayName System Extensions PayloadIdentifier com.example.myprofile PayloadType Configuration PayloadUUID 2e880ad8-e49e-47af-b416-7e6c3fba9df2 PayloadVersion 1 ``` ## Topics ### Objects [`SystemExtensions.AllowedSystemExtensionTypes`](/documentation/DeviceManagement/SystemExtensions/AllowedSystemExtensionTypes-data.dictionary) A dictionary that maps team identifiers to system extensions.
