  1. Auto-admin password complexity settings

    For the auto-admin password generation done by SimpleMDM, it'd be preferable to be able to manage the level of password complexity when the password is generated. Environments can have different password policy rules that all accounts, including MDM generated, need to abide by. The Dude abides.

    Password storage apps like 1Password and Keeper offer, at minimum, password length, use of numbers, and use of special characters. See attached.

  2. Nested Custom Attributes

    Description: It would be extremely useful to have the ability to nest custom attributes in SimpleMDM. This feature would allow administrators to create custom attributes that reference or depend on other custom attributes, enabling dynamic and interconnected data management.

    Use Case: For instance, suppose an organization has a custom attribute called "munkimanifestdepartement" that is a dropdown value in the DEP (Device Enrollment Program) welcome screen. The organization also wants to create another custom attribute called "munkimanifest" that includes the department value selected in "munkimanifestdepartement" along with additional static text. By nesting the custom attribute "munki

  3. Regex Rules for Custom Attribute Validation

    Description: It would be highly beneficial to have the ability to use regular expressions (regex) to validate user-defined custom attributes in SimpleMDM. This feature would allow administrators to set specific rules and patterns that user inputs must adhere to, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.

    Use Case: For example, suppose an organization has a custom attribute for employee IDs. By implementing regex rules, the administrator can define that the employee ID must follow a specific format, such as a combination of letters and numbers. Any user input that does not match the defined regex pattern would be flagged as invalid, preventing…

  4. Devices API - Create - Extend method to include optional params for DEP device ID and device name

    When creating a device using the Devices API create method (https://api.simplemdm.com/#devices), there are only two parameters that can be passed to it, 'name' and 'group_id'.

    It would be very helpful, especially for devices that are expected to go through automated device enrolment, if we could pass a DEP device ID parameter to it so that a DEP device that is not yet enrolled will automatically be assigned to the nominated device group.
    If the DEP device id parameter is assigned, then the response probably shouldn't include an enrolment URL, as this param should indicate the device is expected…

  5. 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)

  7. Add username field to `device.enrolled` webhook event

    The goal is to have a username field in the device.enrolled webhook event.

    This field would be populated using the the custom attribute defined in the "Username custom attribute" setting in the Automated Enrollment Authentication section.

    In our use case, a user will be prompted to auth using Okta during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). The username that is returned by Okta would be part of the webhook event payload. We use the username and device serial number to help with automating other internal processes to help determine which user is assigned to which device.

    This could be covered by https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46831099-control-webhook-data

  8. More granularity on the SimpleMDM menu bar icon...

    So, we've just rolled out Nudge and have used the SimpleMDM agent to do so. And now I'm being grumbled at about the Managed Software Centre Icon taking up valuable menu bar space...

    I appreciate I can kill it via the UI - but it's a bit all or nothing, and when we start adding apps to self-service, the menu bar app seems as good a place as any to direct our end users.

    So - can we set icon visibility per assignment group?

    I think what I'm basically saying is if all apps are managed, and there's no self-service…

  9. Record administrator logins in Logs

    Currently, there is no visibility in the logs when an admin session is started from a login. We'd like to see log in and log out for at least "local" SimpleMDM accounts if not IdP initiated sessions as well, populated into the admin namespace. It would be helpful if the logs contained the account email, IP address they are logging in from, and the usual timestamp / "At" value. A user agent value would be a bonus but it's understandable if that's not available.

  12. Add notification option for when enterprise certificate is expiring

    Currently when an enterprise certificate is expiring, the only place to see that is on the SimpleMDM site at the top of the Devices page.

    We develop custom apps and push them to SimpleMDM with the API, so we don't log in that often which means we could easily miss these alerts. This could lead to lost productivity for our internal users.

    Please allow us to send notifications to specified user(s) when an enterprise certificate is about to expire.

    It would be nice if one or more time intervals could be selected as well, like you can for VPN and…

  13. Add Support for Munki Conditionals to SimpleMDM's Munki Implementation

    Munki includes the ability to set "conditionals" for items in specific manifests to provide granular controls over the installation or appearance of items.

    For example, if I have a multi-site organization, I can set a conditional on a NOPKG item that installs a printer so that the printer install NOPKG only shows up if the device user is connecting to Munki from a specific subnet. This allows me to refine the view of available self-service printers so that, for example, the printers available at Site A only show up if the user's local IP address matches the subnet at Site…

  15. Make logging more detailed for MDM commands

    While I appreciate how detailed SimpleMDM logs can be, especially with raw responses from MDM, sometimes they need to provide more detail. For example, when sending an OS update command the log only contains...

    "Log Details
    Full ID E7B0DBE9-A7C1-4EC8-8CB8-BFA4AB990C59
    Created At 2023-08-17 3:34 PM
    Namespace device
    Type os.update.idle
    Level info
    Device redacted
    UDID F405AA51-FF04-4B71-900F-9C09F0515398
    Serial Number redacted

    Metadata
    {
    "update_version": "13.5.1"
    }
    "

    With OS updates in particular, it's useful to know what mode was used as well. 'downloadonly', 'notifyonly', 'installasap', or 'forceupdate' are all options, but there's no associated data. For some basic commands like…

  16. 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…

  17. Make the `app_usage_data` portion of Munki optional

    Having just confirmed with Eric and others in the Slack channel that SimpleMDM's Munki instance doesn't make use of the app_usage_data feature in Munki - would it be possible to create a toggle to turn it off?

    Additionally there are some global regions where tracking this kind of stuff falls foul of local privacy laws...

    ...and it's upset my privacy focused end users.

    Thanks in advance
