  1. Prestage Enrollment with DEP

    Please add the ability to set custom attributes for DEP Devices which have not yet enrolled with SimpleMDM.

    This would enable us to set some user attributes (email addresses, user names etc.) before handing the device to the user. Right now we are not able to preset a Google account profile for a user for a full zero touch deployment.

  2. API add device attribute 'ethernet_mac'

    As of 20190912 one is able to pull the ethernet mac address from a device via the web interface (/admin/device/<id>) assuming the device has an ethernet port.

    I would like an attribute 'ethernet_mac' to be added to devices that have ethernet ports.

    curl --user ${API_KEY}: https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices/<id>

  4. Add Serial Number to Device View Columns

    On the main Devices View, include the serial number as a column. Or have the ability for Users to add fields to this table to customize the view.

    We added this option a while back but it seems we missed updating this post. You can now edit the columns shown on the main Devices page by clicking the gear icon and selecting which fields you want to be displayed.

  5. extend OS auto update policy to include macOS

    Would LOVE to be able to manage OS update policy for macOS devices directly from SimpleMDM rather than needing a custom profile.

    The macOS update policy can be controlled with the Restriction profile within SimpleMDM. The setting is called “Delay OS update availability” and is available at the bottom of the “Apps & OS” section.

  6. Allow app updates to be (manually) pushed to multiple devices at once

    From the Apps->Catalog->Installs screen, add a "Push update" option to the Action menu, letting me push the most recent app binary to multiple devices at once.

    At the moment, I have to go via Devices -> Devices -> Apps and update devices one at a time.

    My use case is pushing an RC version of the app to c 3-4 manager devices, and then pushing the same/approved version to many more client devices. All at once. (Without having to generate a spurious additional build version and using auto-update during the update binary process).

  7. Enrollement links - Security Issue

    Current enrollment links are not secure, links are permanent and for unlimited use. If some will steel or simply he will trying random number from 000000000 to 999999999, he will sooner or later find link with valid invite.

    This have multiple issues:
    1) License price, if i will enroll 1000 devices to someones mdm he will pay 3000$ in best case scenario or also 30000$, of course SimpleMDM will refund this but it is lost on both sides and lost of trust

    2) if the person will enroll to group with some login/security details (wifi, vpn, mail, network shares etc)…

  8. Create new Group via API

    Enable group creation via API to create a new group providing a name, receive back the group DEVICEGROUPID in the request would be useful enhancement.

  9. Event to Webhook for Group membership set/changed

    If a device is add to a group receiving a webhook on such event would be great.
    The group assignment is already available via API - receiving event details + device details would help along automated workflows, audit trails etc.

  10. User Enrollment

    Please consider adding User Enrollment support, as recently demonstrated at the Apple WWDC, into the basic framework. It would make our lives infinitely easier to be able to have users logon with their AD/OKTA/PingOne/Whatever account instead of having to manage multiple accounts. Thanks.

  12. Use a different font to display firmware / recovery key

    When attempting to view the recovery key or firmware key using the font on the simplemdm website on Google Chrome / Safari on macOS capital I and lower case l are impossible to tell apart. I have to copy the key into an application with a different font to see the true key.

  13. Activity feed / History which show changes made in the portal

    Hey Simple,

    When our admins make changes, these aren't recorded anywhere. This means that when a mistake is made, we don't have a log of what change was made in order to revert this.

    It would be awesome if there was an activity feed or a history which showed any changes made by an admin in the portal.

  14. Add channel choice for VPN profiles

    It would be excellent to have the ability to push VPN profiles as both user and device channel (similar to custom configuration profiles).

    We added the "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile." option to the VPN profile (and most other profiles) a while back, but it seems we missed marking this request as complete.

  15. Low licence warning

    We're using pre-paid licences (rather than pay as you go with a credit card) and have hit the hard limit of seats a couple of times. Which breaks new enrolments in unpleasant ways.

    Could some kind of mechanism to auto-alert admins (or a web hook? Or and API we can call?) be added when the free seats drop below a user defined threshold so we can start the process of ordering more licences?

    The billing page now includes an option to be notified when available licenses is low. This option is available for accounts that have purchased licenses via manual invoicing.

  16. Update the SimpleMDM Name via the API

    As per your document https://docs.simplemdm.com/article/60-device-name-vs-simplemdm-name-whats-the-difference, there are two names within the console for a macOS device.

    Our DEP workflow will soon be able to update the 'Device Name' using the API (https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#update43) but it isn't currently possible to update the 'SimpleMDM Name' in the same way.

    Could the API be updated to either a)allow changing of the 'SimpleMDM Name' explicitly using its own call and/or b) allow the 'Device Name' call to also update the 'SimpleMDM Name' using a boolean flag to do so.

  17. Include device vs. user profile and attribute support for custom configuration profiles in API

    Include the status of the "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile" and "Enable attribute support" checkboxes for custom configuration profiles in the API. The ability to check the current status (i.e., whether these are true or false), set/change them, and set them when uploading custom config profiles through the API would be useful.

  18. Reveal sidebar categories in all contexts

    On the left side of the main view, I'd like to be able to see all the links for all contexts all the time. So often when I'm working on a new deployment, I find myself switching from Devices --> Groups to Apps --> Assignments to Configs --> Providers. If the sub-contexts for Config (eg Profiles Providers Certificates Attributes) were visible when I'm editing Devices --> Groups, it would save me a click and help me build a better mental map of where everything is. I sometimes find myself clicking around looking for which context has the right sub-context I…

  19. Unique DEP local admin password (per device)

    It would be great if the password of the local administrator account created during the DEP enrolment was unique to that device.

    The password could be shown in the device information together with the EFI password and FileVault recovery key.
