Dropdown Menu or Arrows for Efficient Scrolling Through Device List
Very minor request. But it would be nice to have a drop-down menu or up and down arrows when on the device detail page so you may easily scroll through your device list—just as on the device group detail page.

Allow different Device Naming settings per Enrolment group
Currently we are able to name our device on enrolment which is great, however we cant have a different naming convention per enrolment group. We would like to be able to name the devices differently for each enrolment group.

Make macOS DEP-installed Administrator more configurable
First priority: the administrator account should be optional. I install my admin account via a signed package, and go out of my way to disable the simplemdm-created account.
If that's not possible, at least allow me to set the UID of the user to something <500 so it's more invisible to users.

Show Device Lock status via webUI and API
So - similar to JP's suggestion... https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/36523045-show-a-list-of-locked-devices
BUT - at the moment a device can have one of three statuses returned via the API
*enrolled
*enrolling
*unenrolledCould you also add
*Lock Command sent
*Lock command received(or similar) as a status. We're in a position where we want to prevent multiple device admins sending lock commands to the same lost device. Yes you can check the logs first, but are folk really going to do that?
We also want to build a lock functionality via the API - and want to be able to check if a lock command…

Allow sorting/filtering on the Device Details > Apps page
It would be very helpful to be able to sort the Apps list on Device details by discovered date. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a filter field to isolate a batch of apps that match the criteria.

Employee Roster
Relatively minor request: an employee roster who you could "assign" devices to. This could be a sortable column on the device list and would prevent you from having to including the employee name in the device name or notes. The only alternative I can think of is to create a device group for each employee and assign the devices accordingly. But this would be grossly inefficient.

Add Office 365 as an account provider
In Device>Accounts>Add account Google is an option. It would be fantastic if Office 365 was an option as well. I'd love a streamlined way to deploy Office 365 credentials to apps such as Outlook, Excel, and Word at the same time, especially on iOS where users may not be familiar with app passwords.

create a viewable command queue
I need to be able to see a pending command queue, especially for offline devices. For example, let's say I have a lost/stolen iPad. The device was online yesterday, so I enable lost mode on that device. Since it's not currently online, that command is queued in the background until it's online again, but there is no indication whatsoever that the command is queued up.

Parameter Filters
I really love how you can use parameters in many places. That said, it would be even better if we could have some simple "filters", or string functions, like many template languages have.
E.g. I get the first and last name as custom parameters from the enrollment login. It would be great if I could set the username to something like {{first_name|lowercase}}

The ability to reorganize or customize the arrangement of the Profiles page
The Profiles page becomes cluttered by all the different profiles inserted, it would be very helpful if there was an option to organize them in maps.

make profile removal password protected without enrolling with DEP
This was previously declined in 2018, here: https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/34296127-make-profile-removal-password-protected-without-en
I suspect the answer was wrong then, but it is definitely wrong now, in December 2019, for macOS 10.15.2.
I created a one-time enrollment, downloaded the mobileconfig, stripped the signature, added a RemovalPassword via Configurator (v2.11), and installed the profile. My device then connected to SimpleMDM and downloaded the rest of the config. This is presented in the 10.15.2 Profiles Pane UI as a set of distinct profiles (1 per profile configured in SimpleMDM). None of those "mini profiles" are removable but the top level one is. When removing it, it requires…

Make Lock PIN #s / Filevault Recovery Keys Available Via the API
Same logic as Filevault Keys. Make them available via API.
Bonus points if the new API copes could limit access to PINs/ FV keys.

Add API endpoint for setting default custom profile value
Currently, the API only allows to set a custom profile value for a device, not a default value globally.

Retrieve devices in a group via the API
Currently I have to list all of the devices in the MDM, and filter after the fact. It would be great to be able to retrieve the devices in a particular group directly.

App installation dependencies for macOS
We have some installation dependencies for applications that we're deploying to macOS, but it doesn't appear possible to specify dependencies for Apps & Media within SimpleMDM. Because of that, we're unable to control the order that those packages are installed in. It would be nice to have the ability to mark certain app install bundles as dependent upon others.

Allow Webclips to be named differently than the profile name
Webclips have to share the name of the profile, our company has a specific naming convention for profiles and sometimes our webclips need to be named differently.

Restrict access to devices based on tags
Linked in some ways to this request https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/37168075-add-more-granular-simplemdm-user-roles… (and yes, please more granular permissions!)
Would it be possible to restrict access to devices in MDM based on some kind of tagging?
So I can tag devices as “Kiosk” and grant helpdesk full admin access over those devices, but they won’t be able to see or modify devices tagged “user laptop” for example.
At the moment we achieve this using two separate SimpleMDM tenants, which works - but makes our plans to use auto-assignment of devices from Apple Business manager more challenging…
