System vs User Context Installation

Overview

In iPckger, understanding the difference between a user installation and a system installation is key for successful deployments. A user installation applies only to a single user profile, whereas a system installation is available to all users on the device.

Our system automatically detects the correct installation context by analyzing the manifest of each pushed package. This manifest includes metadata about whether the application is intended for personal use or for deployment across multiple users. Based on this information, iPckger installs the application in the appropriate context without any manual intervention.

This automation not only streamlines the deployment process but also minimizes potential errors. Whether you’re installing software for a single user or deploying it system-wide, iPckger ensures that the proper environment is selected for each application.

With this dual approach, administrators benefit from increased flexibility and reliability, while end-users enjoy a more stable and predictable software environment.
