# objectIsForced(forKey:inDomain:) Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether an administrator provided the value for the key in the specified domain. ``` func objectIsForced(forKey key: String, inDomain domain: String) -> Bool ``` ## Parameters `key` The name of the key to check. `domain` The domain that contains the key. ## Return Value `true` if an administrator provides a value for the key, otherwise `false`. ## Discussion Apps can’t change the value of managed keys, so use this method to determine if you can make changes to a key in a specific domain. For example, you might use this method to check for overrides of settings belonging to a shared app group. If a key is managed, disable any app-specific UI you use to change the value of that key. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
