    DEP status can now be found under the key “is_dep_enrollment”.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    SimpleMDM currently supports LDAP authentication during DEP enrollment. Starting with iOS 13 and macOS 10.15, SAML authentication is also supported during DEP enrollment.

  5. 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

  7. 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 :)

    UAMDM 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.

  8. 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.…

    The "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.

  9. 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).

    iOS 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.

  10. 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 :)

  11. 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.

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

    Also supported by many other MDMs.

  13. 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.

    The 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Play a sound

    From the iCloud interface you are able to play a sound to find your iPhone. I just noticed that the Simple MDM does not list that as an action to preform. I realize you could call the phone, but if the switch is on mute, the ringer will not sound, but I believe the play a sound from iCloud works when the mute switch is enabled.

  16. update iOS (for DEP devices that support it) via the API

    Just looking at the API now, and it would be amazing if the ability to update iOS could be added to the API. I can envisage all kinds of scripted updates out of hours to make life easier for remote admins - for example scripting moving out of single app mode, updating the OS and moving back into Single App mode

  17. Button to force/request device details

    Add a button to request device details.

    Example: When adding/removing an app to/from devices, it takes up to an hour for the portal to reflect the changes. It would be nice to push a request for the data, especially when we don't have the luxury of waiting an hour.

  18. Save the last used sort order of the devices list.

    When checking the devices I often sort by something, like date last seen, then click on a device to view. When I return to the devices list I want to just click the next device, but the sort order has been reset.

  19. Allow a view device URL based on serial or device ID

    Watchman Monitoring is looking to build an integration for Macs which are enrolled in SimpleMDM.

    One thing we'd like to do is present a URL which lands at specific device. Currently this can be done with an internal SimpleMDM ID such as:

    https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/123456

    If URLs such as these existed, we could do that without the need for any API/account access

    https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
    or
    https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/SERIALNUMBER

  20. Support Adding .pkg and .dmg without signing

    One of the nice things about Meraki’s SM is the way in which it handles the install of Apps vs SimpleMDM namely:
    - You dont need to sign a .pkg
    - You can upload a file or specify a URL as the source of the installer (.pkg or .dmg)

    Having to sign the .pkg is kinda annoying.
