  1. Add more metadata to app data returned by API

    I would like to be able to check the hash of the binary that an app. Actually a good way to expose this and other things could be to provide a GET https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/apps/{APP_ID}/munki_pkginfo API?

  2. Add the possibility to mark a custom attribute as secret with the API

    In the SimpleMDM UI is it possible to mark a custom attribute as secret. When using this API it is not possible to whether the attribute is secret. It is also not possible to change this and mark secret an attribute that already exist.

    I would like to be able to mark a custom attribute as secret using the API and to get its status back.

  3. Improve ICCID/IMEI Searching

    Currently the IMEI and ICCID values are "padded" with spaces.
    Example:
    IMEI: 12<space>345678<space>901234<space>5

    Searching for 123456789012345 returns no results.
    To get a match, the search must include the the spaces exactly as shown in SimpleMDM.

    This is a problem when copying over values from a carrier or system that does not include the spaces.

    Can the search be fixed to return a result with or without spaces?

  4. Notifications: When a device *has been* seen... in addition to device has not been seen for X days / months

    Notifications: When a device has been seen... in addition to device has not been seen for X days / months

    I only can find:

    When a VPP token is set to expire
    When a DEP token is set to expire
    When a push certificate is set to expire
    When a device enrolls
    When a device hasn't been seen for
    When the SimpleMDM iOS app stops reporting location for

    But there is no option for Notification "Last seen Devices", not meant
    "When a device .."

    Need > When a device has been seen...

  5. Add the ability for scripts/jobs to execute on boot / login.

    It would be good if scripts/jobs could be configured to run each time the device boots or the user logs in.

    This is handy to enforce script logic on the device without having to add a recurring script that executes every day.

  7. Add option to delete after wipe

    (Or a similar control to ensure devices are never unenrolled before the wipe command is received.)

    If you send a wipe command to a device that is currently offline, and then remove that device from SimpleMDM before it comes back online, the device will only be unenrolled from SimpleMDM and not wiped.

  8. Add to the "Enable Remote Desktop" some actual setting of privs

    After banging my head for a year or two on new machines being completely unreachable or at best screen-sharing-only, I think it's because while you can turn ARD ON via MDM, all users by default have no privileges.

    So I now have a kickstart script to do this.

    It seems to me this should be a fundamental part of the "enable" action. For the device action, it could maybe look like the attached. For an enrollment .. I'm not sure, can you execute scripts at enrol time? If not maybe automatically afterwards?

    Some of the necessary kickstart commands are here…

  9. Admin Console Banner

    Allow customization of the banner at the top of the admin pane after login. Currently you have a banner that states:

    "You are currently viewing the new Ul for the Devices page. If you would like to temporarily switch back to the old view, click here."

    We have a specific requirement to add a banner to any system with user-added content about what type of data is allowed to be uploaded. It would be awesome to be able to customize the banner to add a message to users of the system.

  10. Notification for annual renewal

    Email notication a few weeks prior to renewal, stating how devices we have, the cost of the renewal, what credit last 4 it will charge and when the charge will happen...this would allow us to audit the device list, update an old credit card and know that the renewal is happening.

  12. Report on profile status - pending, installed, failed

    SimpleMDM currently only surfaces profile assignment in the main profiles UI. To see the status of a specific profile on a device an admin must navigate to a device record. What information isn't readily available is the status of a profile. Even if it's assigned to 100 devices, there's no way to tell how many of those devices the profile successfully installed.

    Specifically asking...
    - Add three columns to the view at /profiles in the UI - installed, pending, failed.
    - In the profiles and custom profiles API endpoints include data about these status as well.

    The major driver behind…

  13. Improve API docs with examples for each endpoint

    SimpleMDM's API documentation (https://api.simplemdm.com/) is inconsistent in what information is included per endpoint. For example, https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-configuration-profiles shows the response body for a GET call, but the POST (create) section has no usage information. It's up to the user to intuit from other endpoints the format in which those arguments should be.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-attributes shows how to set a value for a device, but not create a new custom attribute globally.

    We (the customer) end up making assumptions about API formats which are usually true, but only able to confirm through guessing. It would help to ensure the official docs…

  14. An option to automatically whitelist any apps assigned to a device group.

    By default, we restrict what apps can be installed on iOS devices. Right now, if I want to deploy a VPP app to an iOS device, I have to add it to the device assignment AND remember to go to my restrictions profile and whitelist it.

    I suggest that all assigned apps be automatically whitelisted, or at least have a setting that can turn on this automatic whitelisting if the SimpleMDM admin selects it.

    Thanks!

  15. Integrate Google’s Santa project into SimpleMDM?

    The clue is in the name SimpleMDM - your product makes the difficult parts of managing your Mac devices simple - setting up and managing Munki could be challenging, and now the easy to use implementation you’ve provided is a great fit for lots of organisations.

    Can you apply the same magic to Google Santa please?

    https://github.com/google/santa

    Here’s the use case. In our organisation, end users run with administrator access. This empowers them to do all the things they need to do to be productive, and ensures IT isn't a bottleneck…

    …but - with great power comes great responsibility. There’s…

  16. Device Groups API - add methods

    The Device Groups API does not have the following methods:
    create, update, remove/delete, it would be very helpful if this endpoint could have those methods added, along with various options such as:

    create: parameters "name" (required), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional, default False)

    update: parameters "name" (optional), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional)

    delete: parameters: "device_group_id"

    Also, the clone method does not currently take any parameters that would allow device group settings to be configured, it would be helpful if the clone method was updated to allow the use of these parameters:

    "name" (required), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional, default False)

  18. Return the effective value of custom attributes in the API and exports

    Currently, exports and the API will only return a custom attribute's value if the value is overridden at the device level - otherwise, it returns an empty string. Please modify the API and exports endpoint to return the effective value of the field. It would also be helpful if there was a taxonomy that outlined where that value came from (e.g. is it the default, group level, or device level override).
