  1. 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…

  2. 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…

  3. 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

  5. Add description as argument for creating/updating custom configuration profiles

    When modifying custom configuration profiles in the web UI, there's an optional field for "Description (Optional description presented to the end user.)", which isn't exposed via the API.

  7. Support SCIM provisioning and de-provisioning for admin accounts

    SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a REST/JSON protocol defined in RFC 7644 that allows identity providers to direct service providers to make account create, update, and delete actions. It is generally used to pre-provision access for new accounts and de-provision access for accounts that no longer require it.

    Please add support for SimpleMDM to work with the SCIM protocol for administrator accounts. A minimum implementation for our purposes would be to create administrator accounts using SCIM at the default permission level, and have the delete function revoke access on the given account. In a perfect world, the SCIM…

  9. Allow setting device naming schemes per enrollment

    We use the device naming template under Settings -> General. This works great for our macOS and iOS devices that come in through manual enrollment and ADE as our template contains the serial number attribute, but fails when User Enrolled devices are named because that attribute isn't available. It would be useful to allow us to set a different device naming scheme per enrollment, or at least to set a backup or some sort of logic should one of the attributes be null.

  12. Scope profiles to build version

    With the advent of RSRs, the OS version is no longer a definitive identifier of what OS rev a system is on. The OS build numbers would be a more consistent way to identify target OSes.

    Historically, macOS minor builds have followed an pattern of
    [Major OS number][A...Z minor build][Patch Number] moniker.

    Now with RSRs, the build numbers are a bit more complicated but the values still go up and each build number is larger than the last based on the pattern above.

    13.3.1 22E261
    13.3.1 RSR 22E772610a
    13.4.0 22F66
    13.4.1 22F82
    13.4.1 RSR 22F770820b

    I propose that Build numbers…

  13. Prepopulate Job Name Field for New Jobs

    When creating a new job please auto populate the Job Name with something unique rather than leaving it blank. For example, something related to the current timescriptnameSerialNumber would be useful.

    The admin should be able to edit this prepopulated name if they so wish.

  14. API device profile install status

    In webUI you can see the profile install status, but in API you can only see "assigned" and no visibility of whether it installed or not. This is useful information, particularly in my case when assigning a SCEP profile where the CA is in corporate network. The profile install frequently fails due to devices being off LAN.
    This could be an install status when querying device/profiles or an installed profile list when querying devices, which we'd compare to assigned profiles.

  15. Include "less than macOS version" and "greater than macOS version" for profile scoping

    It would be very helpful to be able to define "less than" and "greater than" macOS version when scoping profiles. For example, I would prefer to specify "less than macOS 12" for a profile to apply to all versions of macOS 11. As it is, I have to update the maximum OS version every time a new dot release comes out.

  16. Control Webhook data

    Webhooks are very limited in what they provide without triggering another API call to pull in more information. The ability to control the payload within the webhook endpoint creation screen would be a huge help in interfacing with other programs. The ability to add static data to the payload (like we can already do to the header) or be able to add dynamic data through attribute support.

  17. Expand Webhook triggers

    If we had the ability to choose which webhook events to subscribe per endpoint (https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46289557-support-choosing-which-webhook-events-to-subscribe), the addition of more triggers would be valuable in automating and validating workflows.
    Here are some of the possible triggers:
    abm.device.removed
    profile.added
    profile.updated
    profile.removed
    application.added
    application.updated
    application.removed
    script.added
    script.updated
    script.removed
    script.job.run

  18. Expand '\n' as carriage return in script output

    When running scripts via the SimpleMDM web interface, the log/history of a script run shows as a single line.

    It would be convenient to be able to see multi-line output within the web interface (instead of having to copy and paste the log output into a text document and then doing a find & replace of '\n' characters in order to be able to read it).
