  1. Assign devices to Group based on LDAP attribute at enrollment stage

    Since you support authenticating DEP enrollment via LDAP it would be nice to then place a device in the appropriate group based on some LDAP attribute of the user's account.

  2. Report on UAMDM status

    We can already see UAMDM status (https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/33088666-uamdm-status) - but as we roll out to more machines it would be useful to have a report or column view or other way to work out which machines are enrolled but have not been approved by the user.

    I appreciate we could write a lookup against the API to query this status - but that doesn't really scale when we hit 1000s of machines

    Thanks :)

  3. Allow wallpaper to be set per user/device as well as per group

    Hi,

    Could you possibly allow us to set the phone wallpaper per device, overriding the default wallpapers set in the group the device belongs to?

    We are looking at customising the wallpapers with ID related information (per user), but currently we'd have to setup a device group for EVERY device one-by-one.

  4. Reset Firmware

    An easy way to remove an EFI Firmware Password from a users device (Maybe a click button in the console where the password is displayed?) and also a way to re-apply it more easily after performing SMC (System Management Controller) and PRAM/NVRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory / Non-Volatile RAM) resets. (I contacted support beforehand. Even better would be a way to push an SMC reset to the machine, or PRAM, but I don't think this would be possible???

    At the moment, I am booting into recovery on a users device, turning the EFI PW off, restarting, performing a SMC reset…

    The “Actions” button under the device details screen now includes an option to “Clear firmware password”. This is also available via the API.

  5. Integration with Google LDAP for user enrolment

    Google now has LDAP service but this requires the LDAP client be able to use a certificate to connect to the server. this would need to be added to simple MDM capabilities.

    SAML-based authentication during the enrollment process is now supported by SimpleMDM. We support authenticating against Google with SAML over LDAP to achieve the same results.

  6. Scope API key

    I'd like multiple API keys able to be generated in the UI that have scoped permissions, for example, one API key restricted to only being able to hit the device endpoint, or one API key only being able to access Users.

    With this feature, it would reduce the threat of the API key being compromised as it's potential scope would be limited.

  7. Add firewall profile support

    It would be great to add a configuration profile to force enabling the firewall on a mac machine. I am very surprised that it isn't an option, there are other mdm solutions that offer this and it seems pretty basic for ensuring security.

  8. Stop WIFI Sharing

    As of iOS 11 you can now share your network settings. This poses a problem for devices that aren't company owned. Users can now share the password with other Apple devices that are close by. We would like to prevent MDM devices from sharing passwords with any other device.

  9. mdm eventlog

    Add a detailed EventLog in the MDM.

    It would be nice to know if commands/messages were successfully sent to a device.

    Logging is now available in SimpleMDM under Account > Logs.

  10. Allow unlimited apps in folders of "Home Screen Layout" profiles

    As far as I know, iOS does not limit the number of app in one folder, but currently with SimpleMDM interface to manager home screen layout we are limited to 9 apps per folder.

  11. update software on an individual device via the API

    As discussed in Slack - there's currently an "update_apps" command in the API - but that only applies to device groups. I'd like to be able to update software on an individual device via the API.

    i.e. to push a test device to the latest and greatest, but leaving other devices on the standard version...

    There's a button to do this in the GUI, so I'm hoping adding that to the API shouldn't be too bad?

  12. Add a "comment" field to the Kernel Extension policy page

    It would be awesome to have a comment field so we could note which app or developer each team ID or bundle ID is for.

  13. Setup a role option to only have access to view/rotate FV PRK

    We have techs that need to access the FV PRK for troubleshooting purposes and also rotate the key if they view/use it. The current Role options are too broad and give access to other features that the techs shouldn't have access to.

    I'd like to see a user Role option to allow only the rotation of a FV PRK and not the the rest of Push assigned apps and updates. Wipe, lock, remove passcode, locate, and message devices. Enable and disable lost mode for devices. Checking the box for that Role option gives me the rotation option but I don't…

    This is now possible with the "Allow secret information visibility" options for User Roles.

  14. app version device distribution

    See adoption of a specific app version.

    We publish continuously new versions of our mdm distributed enterprise app. Often, however, users decline to update to a certain version because e.g. they're in the middle of using the app. We know how to send another updated cycle out to the devices, but sometimes it would be helpful to see which devices have a specific version. Right now we have to manually go into each device, then to the apps section to see what's going on. Quite annoying for 30 devices and the numbers of our devices will increase in the future.

    I'm marking this one as completed because SimpleMDM does display this information on the "Installs" tab under the App Details (Catalog > click app name > Installs tab).


    If there is something else that you would like to see added to expand upon this, please submit a new suggestion. Thanks!

  15. Push scripts and or terminal commands to macOS clients

    I need to be able to push scripts and terminal commands to my macOS clients from my MDM solution.

    If this was in place, it would open up a lot of possibilities for tighter integration with a package distribution system like Munki.

    See the new “Scripts” feature on the side navigation menu.

  16. Lookup exact model

    Based on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201300 you could show the exact model names.

    This would be useful to see the age of our Macs and distinguish between 13 and 15 inch models.

    Today this information is only available in the export.

  17. add an "auto-join" feature to wifi profiles

    I've noticed that configurator (and other MDMs) have an "auto-join" option that can be set when you create a wifi profile. I think this might help solve an issue we're having where we can't force devices onto a specific network. I'm hoping that judicious use of "auto-join" will allow us to select the correct network for a device via SimpleMDM
