  1. Assignment of apps with filter based on tags and/or model

    We have different sets of apps for iPhone and iPads. Right now I need to duplicate the device groups manually to be able to define which apps are supposed to be installed on iPhones and which on iPads.
    Having tags at the apps or being able to restrict apps to certain types of models would be supercool. I used this a lot when using Jamf.

  2. Display the Raw Payload Key when hovering over Human Readable descriptions

    Apple's documentation for payload keys (e.g. Restrictions - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions) and the translated human readable description in the SimpleMDM Profile creation UI can cause confusion because what is described may not be obvious what key is actually being set.

    I suggest when hovering over the Simple UI description in the SimpleMDM portal the actual, raw payload Key be displayed so there is no confusion as to what preference that is setting.

    For instance, if I hover over "Allow restricting USB connections if locked" in the Restrictions Profile, it should show "allowUSBRestrictedMode".

  4. Run scripts based off certain parameters.

    Ex: If certain apps aren’t downloaded when the Mac is scanned every hour it runs the specified script or scripts.

    Basically add If statements to install apps and run scripts.

  5. Profiles API - add/set attributes for OS type, min and max OS version, and Mac architecture

    The current profiles API method to list all profiles doesn't return the scope data that is configured in the management console, and there are no means to set these attributes via API methods (per https://api.simplemdm.com/#profiles as at 2022-09-26).

    Please update the list all and retrieve one methods to return this scope data.

    Please also add a method to update existing profiles with values for this scope data.

    The scope attributes specifically are:
    - setting the OS type
    - setting the minimum macOS version the profile can be installed on
    - setting the maximum macOS version the profile can be installed…

  6. Allow Log Filter to Include API

    Currently when filtering the Logs, you can filter by the user making the change, but you cannot filter by API key. I would like the ability to quickly see the recent logs that the API has made.
    This may be classified as a bug, but was asked to submit here anyway.

  8. Managed Application Installation Status

    There should be some way in the console (and API) to see the installation status of apps deployed through SimpleMDM, using statuses like "Installed", "Pending", "Error", etc.

    Currently, you can see which apps are installed on a device, but there's no way to identify applications that should or will be installed, whether we're waiting for the device to come online, or if there's been an error in the installation process.

    In a standalone Munki environment I would could use Sal/MunkiReport as requested in https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/40754131-integrate-munkireport-or-sal

    Alternately, I can also forward the Munki logs in /Library/Managed Installs/Logs to a SEIM like Splunk…

  9. Move Rosetta 2 install from global enrollments to per enrollment groups

    Some of our enrollments need Rosetta 2, while others we do not want them. We have to resort to adding a package to the groups that need them. It would be nice to have this option.

  10. Expose Custom App "Pre-stage priority" in API

    The Custom App Screen (https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/apps/{APP_ID}) allows for a configurable "Pre-stage priority" for Device-level App Installation during DEP enrollment. This value has a pre-set range of 0-10 (inclusive) available in the UI.

    Please update the Application API (https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/apps/) to:

    1. Expose the "Pre-stage Priority" value on all List/Retrieve responses for /api/v1/apps/
    2. Allow for setting the "Pre-stage Priority" during App Creation and App Update

    Background:

    My organization is installing multiple Installer Packages during initial DEP enrollment, where some packages must be installed before others. We're currently managing this via manual uploads in the web console after our CI/CD process.…

  13. Add "1 day" to the dropdown for "When a device hasn't been seen" notification

    In your notifications section of the portal, I can select a minimum of 3
    days for the event lag:

    When a device hasn't been seen for
    3 days

    Please add an option for 1 day. Some of us need this for compliance with our security certs and auditors. Note that if someone sets this to 1 day and it's too "noisy" because people turn off their laptops on weekends or their device runs out of power during a
    holiday, then they could always switch it back to 3 days.

  15. Increase pkg accepted size for custom apps and allow for Adobe pkg upload

    I am trying to load up packages for Adobe Suite on an Feature Restricted License. So no cloud access. The total Suite size is around 28.5 GB. I am not necessarily suggesting allowing for the full suite to be uploaded in one go. I have divided out the installs and the largest install is After Effects at 5.9GB. So if the file size could be adjusted to 6000MB that would be sufficient. Photoshop is 5.5 GB, Premiere is 4.15 GB, Character is 4.08 GB. With the removal of MAC OS server support I am hopeful to transition this to be…

  17. Add an ability to deliver any type of file to the device

    I have been writing scripts that export files (company logos, custom apps without signatures, etc) from base64 encoded strings and while it works it is tedious to do.

    It would be nice to have a form on the admin portal where we can upload a file or set of files (of any type) and specify the file path where we would like those files to be deployed on the managed device.

    The Add Media function already has pdf and epub covered here, but this would dramatically expand the delivery capabilities of the MDM.

  18. Remote Desktop Enable API - Return HTTP 20x instead of HTTP 400 if already enabled on client

    The Remote Desktop Enable API - https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#enable-remote-desktop - currently returns an HTTP 400 response if the device the API is called against already has this enabled. The Disable API returns an HTTP 202 error regardless of whether the feature has not been disabled or has been disabled.

    I'm not entirely sure I see the value in the Enable API returning an HTTP 400 response when a device already has it enabled. A response that returns a relevant HTTP 20x value makes more sense in this instance because the setting has already been enabled. An HTTP 400 response only makes sense…

  19. Devices API and Webhook should include Managed Apple ID

    When using User Enrollment, the managed apple id is shown in the dashboard ui. However, this info is not included in device api or webhook request data.

    Please add this information into both device api and webhook, it will be super helpful to identify device to user.

    Thank you.

  20. Maximum macOS version should include unreleased/imaginary OS versions

    Right now the max macOS version I can select for Big Sur (for example) is 11.6.5. I would like to specify a max version of <12 or 11.99.

    For Monterey, I would like to be able to specify <13 or 12.99.
