So how do we configure a device to be in supervised mode? This can be done in two ways, via the Apple Device Enrollment Program (Apple DEP) or via the Apple Configurator. You see supervised devices often in schools, retail environments and healthcare were the devices are used for one or more goal and often are locked down. When an iOS device is in supervised mode we can fully control the iOS by configuring settings that cannot be configured when it is not. Supervised mode is introduced by Apple in iOS version 5 which allows you to differentiate the company owned devices and the personally owned devices. Configuring the Apple iOS device via the Apple Configurator requires that you have the iOS device connected to a macOS device that is running the Apple Configurator.
