Allow Download of Custom Profiles
It would be great to have the option of downloading previously uploaded mobileconfig files (or even better, edit them in the webinterface).
Normally i prototype profiles in Profile Manager, but since i cannot put every bit of information that is contained in the Profile into it's name, i have no possibility of checking what exactly i am deploying.
A download Option would make troubleshooting/debugging Custom Profiles a lot easier!
Thanks in advance.

Return the "Marketing/Human Readable" name for a Mac via the API
At the moment SimpleMDM can return a model name and a product name via the API.
However, the product names aren't unique - Apple occasionally reuse them... would it be possible for SimpleMDM to return the "Human Readable" name as well i.e. "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)" rather than just MacBookPro13,2
We'd like to use SimpleMDM to populate our asset management system via the API - and would prefer to use the Human Readable name
There are examples of how to do this here: http://scriptingosx.com/2017/11/get-the-marketing-name-for-a-mac/ and here https://github.com/MagerValp/MacModelShelf

This was added a while back but the post wasn't updated. The "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile." option now exists in the Passcode Policy profile settings to control whether it is deployed via device or user channel.

Display lastSeen on the device page
Right now it's only shown on the device list page but not on the page for a specific device.
Additionally, it would be nice to put the true timestamp in the alt field so that you can see the exact time on hover.1 votePlease find under “Enrollment” section of the device details screen.

Add scheduling flexibility for iOS Auto Update Policy
As many businesses are limited to which day(s) of the week upgrades can be performed, adding more versatility to the scheduling would be very helpful.

Add authentication to enrollment
In evaluating other MDM services, I've found that enrollment that requires some kind of end-user authentication automatically satisfies the User Approval portion of MDM enrollment when initiated using DEP.
This is, of course, in addition to the security concerns of anybody with a DEP-included serial being able to enroll without authentication.
1 voteSimpleMDM currently supports LDAP authentication during DEP enrollment. Starting with iOS 13 and macOS 10.15, SAML authentication is also supported during DEP enrollment.

Add built-in support for Enforced Software Update Delay for macOS and iOS
Added in macOS 10.13.4 and iOS 11.3. Would be nice to have built in:
enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay
Supervised only. This restriction allows the admin to set how many days a software update on the device will be delayed. With this restriction in place, the user will not see a software update until the specified number of days after the software update release date.
The max is 90 days and the default value is 30.
Availability: Available in iOS 11.3 and later and macOS 10.13.4 and later.
Mentioned https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html and ofc here https://simplemdm.com/2018/01/25/apple-ios-11-3-macos-10-13-4-mdm-features/.
Thanks

UAMDM status
Since user accepted things are pretty important with kernel extensions and with 10.13.4b1 Apple is adding more profiles that require UAMDM. It would be extremely helpful if we could get this status on the machine details page right under the FileVault status. The UAMDM info is also coming back from the machine in that same SecurityInfo request so it should be pretty easy to pull apart.
PS AirWatch just added this with v9.2.3 :)
11 votesUAMDM status and DEP are now shown under “Enrollment” in the device details screen. UAMDM is also found under the “is_user_approved_enrollment” key in the API.

Add setting for a profiles level in the web UI
Currently profiles like password and screensaver settings are set by SimpleMDM as user-level profiles in macos. With MDM that means only 1 user will have that profile enforced. However, your organization might be obligated to enforce that policy for all users organization wide. It is common for a Mac in a corporate fleet to have at least 2 users. If MDM makes it so user-level profiles are only pushed to 1 of the users, you're not in compliance.
If it's possible for a profile to be device-level, we should be able to set it as such in the web interface.…
1 voteThe "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile." option now exists on all profiles in the UI that support both user and device channel installations.

Add the ability to schedule forced updates (for both apps and iOS versions)
It'd be great for OS version updates and App Version (for supervised device VPP apps) forced updates to be schedule-able so that you can force the update to go through at a certain time of day (e.g. midnight or 2am when the device is unlikely to be in use).
43 votesiOS updates can be scheduled using an “iOS Auto Update Policy”. VPP apps can be set to auto-update from the Apps > Settings section. For scheduling of VPP app updates, please create a separate feature request so that we may track the particular request.

report macOS build number as well as macOS version
At the moment Simple reports a macOS major version number - so 10.13.3 - but it was pointed out to me that build numbers can show when intermediate patches have been applied - which would be invaluable in showing devices in need of updates/patching.
So - my machine is currently running 10.13.3(17D47)
Thanks :)

Assign settings (especially certificates) to individual users/devices
I would like to be able to push per-user TLS certificates to devices. This is useful for authenticating users' devices to internal web sites and VPNs (e.g. OpenVPN Connect app) as an additional layer of security before an attacker would even be presented with a login prompt, and it is a requirement of certain firewalls' OpenVPN configuration.
6 votesProfiles (including certificates) can now be assigned to individual devices. This was added a few years back but this post was not updated at the time.

This is a restriction supported by Apple. But I can not find it in the SimpleMDM restriction configuration.

Remember Group and # of devices to display on the Devices screen
Remember Group selected and # of devices to display on the Devices screen. Currently every time you navigate back to Devices page, it goes back to listing all groups and only the first 20 devices.
2 votesThe Devices page now remembers the number of devices (20, 40, or 100) selected. I will close this request, but if there are other options you'd like to see implemented (such as retaining group filter), I'd kindly ask that you submit a new suggestion.

Maximum auto-lock time
Increase the options for "Maximum auto-lock time". Possibly might be good to have the same options as "Maximum grace period before lock". That way it can be synced to have a password required when the screen locks.
