Schedule a Script Job using API
Currently, there does not appear to be a way to schedule the execution of a script job with API.
I need this to continue implementing a Terraform provider dedicated to SimpleMDM.
It would be nice if that was added during the creation of a Script Job in the API. The goal would be to have the three prossibilites offers by the UI like :
- Run ASAP
- Run later
- Run reccuringlyThe API documentation mentions that a job can be canceled. However, since scheduling a job is not currently supported, this functionality seems limited.

List all assignment methods that add a profile to a device
When a profile is assigned both directly and via Group membership, it only lists as assigned via "direct". It would be more complete to list it as "direct" AND <link to group>,

Allow for Device User Account management
There should be an Action menu for a user on a device for the SimpleMDM admin to be able to:
- View user details
- Edit the group membership (e.g. standard vs. admin or other groups)
- reset user password
- remove secure token
- unlock an account
- delete a user

with parameters for macos, ios, tvos3 votes -
Add a user preference to set the default filter for the Devices list.
The new filtering defaults to Name, which I very rarely use. I'm having to switch the filter to Serial every time I load the devices list.

Provide option to flush attributes and recalculate the device name on re-enrollment.
If a device is wiped and re-enrolled, but is not deleted, the device name and attributes 'stick' to the device when it is re-enrolled. Deleting devices immediately isn't always possible, since we may need to wait for a queued wipe command to reach the device.

Add Python from python.org
I have a script in a LaunchDaemon that embeds Python to send email. It would be nice if all our Macs could automatically keep Python up-to-date.

Naming Script Jobs during creation with API
It seems the SimpleMDM API does not allow assigning a name to a job at creation. From what I could understand, the API gives a default name to the job which is “API Job”.
It could be interesting to allow this customization especially since the name field is mandatory in the UI.

Require latest minor version during enrollment
Ideally there should be a "latest minor version" option with the same logic as the Software Update profile when you enforce a minimum OS version during enrollment.
And a separately configured minimum major version would complement it nicely.

Make the "Run recurringly" Script Job be more granular
When scheduling a script job to run recurringly, the only option is for it to run at a specific time of day--essentially, just once for that day. Can we make the hours to run more granular so that we can select multiple hours during the day?

Add Feature to Apps in Catalog
It would be nice to have the ability to update custom apps that we have added to the catalog. Adding a new file version without having to create a new catalog entry.

Allow jobs to run against a list of serial numbers from a csv.
It would be useful to be able to import a list of serial numbers for a job to run against rather than picking them one by one. It would at least be useful to be able to copy and paste a list of devices straight into the 'Run on' field.

Allow multiple Software Update Policy for macOS profiles in same group
It should be possible to apply multiple "Software Update Policy for macOS" profiles to a single group if the scopes of the profiles do not overlap. For example, I'd like to enforce a "latest minor update" policy on macOS 14 and 15, plus a latest major version on macOS 13 and below.

Include VPP License totals and assignment counts in API output
We need a way to get overage data on VPP licenses, this is not possible currently with the existing API for apps.
We'd love to have the list method - https://api.simplemdm.com/#list-all - extended so that any app in the catalog that is a VPP app includes a total licenses count and an assigned licenses count.
Adding this information would be very useful for us to generate reports/alerts on overages so we can better handle those license assignments.

Ability to export dep devices
Ability to export a csv of DEP Devices in the Enrollment tab.
Use-Case: We switched to simplemdm from AirWatchOne, and not alot of our devices were actually truely managed there because it never worked.
Would be nice to track devices that are enrolled,awaiting enrollment so we could export a csv and then match serial numbers to AWO and work with that user to either replace there device or get it into SimpleMDM.

Ability to set a Default Value in Enrolment Dropdown Options
The dropdown options and comma seperated values list is a great addition to set custom attributes during enrolments.
It woupld be great to be able to set a default value in the dropdown list. Maybe a tick box that sets the first comma seperated option in the list as the default value presented to the user.

Show what OS would get installed based on major and minor update delays
When configuring a restriction profile, we can set update delays for iOS, macOS major and macOS minor. Let the editing view preview what the expected offered version of a software update check would be, since it's relative to the age of the release.
For example, as I submit this, macOS 15.1 is 25 days old.
A minor deferral for 30 days would therefore yield devices finding 15.0.1
Deferral of 21 would offer 15.1.
Add a line under each setting that does this calculation, indicating that "as of today, the offered minor version would be X", which updates as the admin…1 vote -
Better Profile Management
When creating new profiles, it would be awesome if it showed settings that only applied to the device type(s) you have selected.
For instance i have some profiles that are for IOS only, some are Mac OS Only, and some apply to both.
It would be awesome for profiles that are IOS or MacOS, ETC Only to show settings that can be configured for those OS's only just to cut down on clutter and confusion.
Most of the options are already tagged IOS/MacOS and then the option to apply to profile to device types is already there so it would…
