Limit API Scope to Group
Would love the ability to limit a specific API key to only access specific group devices. I would like to develop something to wipe devices for some automation in some build farms, but would not want to give the users the ability to wipe any device from the key.

Managed Application Installation Status
There should be some way in the console (and API) to see the installation status of apps deployed through SimpleMDM, using statuses like "Installed", "Pending", "Error", etc.
Currently, you can see which apps are installed on a device, but there's no way to identify applications that should or will be installed, whether we're waiting for the device to come online, or if there's been an error in the installation process.
In a standalone Munki environment I would could use Sal/MunkiReport as requested in https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/40754131-integrate-munkireport-or-sal
Alternately, I can also forward the Munki logs in /Library/Managed Installs/Logs to a SEIM like Splunk…

Assignment of apps with filter based on tags and/or model
We have different sets of apps for iPhone and iPads. Right now I need to duplicate the device groups manually to be able to define which apps are supposed to be installed on iPhones and which on iPads.
Having tags at the apps or being able to restrict apps to certain types of models would be supercool. I used this a lot when using Jamf.2 votes -
Self-service VPP Apps
Some of the apps we distribute from VPP do not need to be installed on all Macs, but should be available for a user to install on demand.
Welding together Managed Software Center and VPP could be tricky, but maybe there could be application stubs in MSC that trigger API calls to SimpleMDM to install a VPP app on the device.

Expose Custom App "Pre-stage priority" in API
The Custom App Screen (https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/apps/{APP_ID}) allows for a configurable "Pre-stage priority" for Device-level App Installation during DEP enrollment. This value has a pre-set range of 0-10 (inclusive) available in the UI.
Please update the Application API (https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/apps/) to:
- Expose the "Pre-stage Priority" value on all List/Retrieve responses for /api/v1/apps/
- Allow for setting the "Pre-stage Priority" during App Creation and App Update
Background:
My organization is installing multiple Installer Packages during initial DEP enrollment, where some packages must be installed before others. We're currently managing this via manual uploads in the web console after our CI/CD process.…

Improve Device Search with More Attributes
Currently device search only supports device name, serial number, IMEI, MAC, and phone number.
Scenarios where search doesn't return the results I need:
- When I need to search by a custom attribute. For example, say I want to return all devices where the username attribute is "nathaniel.strauss". I am unable to since those attributes are not exposed in search. This is a common ask - "How many devices does x have?" The same holds true for any custom attribute set from SAML assertion - team, department, etc.
- When the device name (SimpleMDM defined) doesn't match the Device Name…64 votes -
Filter and Sort Devices columns within the Enrollment section
When you go to the enrollment area of SimpleMDM and choose the enrollment method, in my case, the SimpleMDM Automated Enrollment using DEP. It will list ALL of the currently sync'd devices from ABM. This is a HUGE list and you cannot sort it or filter it whatsoever. I would like the option to filter by status, color, model, etc. as well as sort them all alphabetically.
An even bigger improvement for this requested feature would be if you add checkboxes to each line item so you can bulk update them to assign to a specific group, etc. This makes…

Add "1 day" to the dropdown for "When a device hasn't been seen" notification
In your notifications section of the portal, I can select a minimum of 3
days for the event lag:When a device hasn't been seen for
3 daysPlease add an option for 1 day. Some of us need this for compliance with our security certs and auditors. Note that if someone sets this to 1 day and it's too "noisy" because people turn off their laptops on weekends or their device runs out of power during a
holiday, then they could always switch it back to 3 days.1 vote -

Increase pkg accepted size for custom apps and allow for Adobe pkg upload
I am trying to load up packages for Adobe Suite on an Feature Restricted License. So no cloud access. The total Suite size is around 28.5 GB. I am not necessarily suggesting allowing for the full suite to be uploaded in one go. I have divided out the installs and the largest install is After Effects at 5.9GB. So if the file size could be adjusted to 6000MB that would be sufficient. Photoshop is 5.5 GB, Premiere is 4.15 GB, Character is 4.08 GB. With the removal of MAC OS server support I am hopeful to transition this to be…

Move Rosetta 2 install from global enrollments to per enrollment groups
Some of our enrollments need Rosetta 2, while others we do not want them. We have to resort to adding a package to the groups that need them. It would be nice to have this option.

Remote Desktop Enable API - Return HTTP 20x instead of HTTP 400 if already enabled on client
The Remote Desktop Enable API - https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#enable-remote-desktop - currently returns an HTTP 400 response if the device the API is called against already has this enabled. The Disable API returns an HTTP 202 error regardless of whether the feature has not been disabled or has been disabled.
I'm not entirely sure I see the value in the Enable API returning an HTTP 400 response when a device already has it enabled. A response that returns a relevant HTTP 20x value makes more sense in this instance because the setting has already been enabled. An HTTP 400 response only makes sense…

SimpleMDM Training and Certification
Why do I ask/suggest?
- It can be great to meet MDM certification requirements from the Apple Consultants Network (for members).
- Learn SimpleMDM from the perspective of the creators. Like best practises, how/why things were created the way they are.
- Impress whoever is impressed by this kind of stuff. Maybe you'll get a raise. And off course get a nice badge for your website or social media! (just kidding)

Maximum macOS version should include unreleased/imaginary OS versions
Right now the max macOS version I can select for Big Sur (for example) is 11.6.5. I would like to specify a max version of <12 or 11.99.
For Monterey, I would like to be able to specify <13 or 12.99.

Implement some means of keeping device name and SimpleMDM name in sync
I wouldn't mind if they were always the same, but perhaps separate names is useful to some so maybe just a checkbox in either rename widget that says "also update <the other> name

Add ability to disable App Library in Dock (IOS)
IOS 15 by default places an app library icon on the dock. This can be manually toggled off via IOS settings, but want ability to do this with MDM to keep Dock layout exactly as shown on Home Screen Layout profile.
