Big Sur has made changes to how devices are enrolled when using the MDM Enrollment Link as well as approving the MDM Enrollment Profile once it's on the device, having the end-user manually navigate to the profiles section.
Note: Just like Catalina, Big Sur also requires that the user has admin privileges to successfully install the Addigy MDM enrollment profile.
