  1. iOS version on dashboard

    I would like to see the iOS version on the main dashboard when you are looking at all the devices in your specific groups.

    So, today we have Name, Group, Model, Status, Last Seen. ADD: iOS Version!

    This is now available. Click the gear on the devices table and select “OS Version”.

  2. Document what shared apps are available on somewhere publicly available

    It would be nice if there was a publicly available support document or otherwise that listed what shared apps are available in SimpleMDM right now.

    Thanks!

  3. Add Individual Office365 Packages to Shared Munki Catalog

    A couple months ago the Microsoft Office 365 package was added to Shared Apps in Munki. I have been testing it and find that the large package takes a long time to install and if individual packages have been installed previously, it wants to overwrite those with another full install. It also requires all Office apps to be closed for the install - and since the full package takes longer it's more downtime to users than if individual packages were being updated. I'd like to request that the standalone installers (including OneDrive) are considered for the shared app catalog as…

  5. Do not apply kernel extension profiles to ARM devices

    It's a known issue that applying a kernel extension profile to an M1 device can put it into a failure to boot condition, displaying a "Recovery is trying to change system settings. No administrator was found." dialog.
    Would be great if SimpleMDM could prevent us from ending up in that situation.

  7. Don't deploy macOS Software Update profile to Big Sur

    SimpelMDM shouldn't deploy macOS Software Update profiles to Big Sur. Big Sur has a bug that reads the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL preference when running software updates and causes an NSURL error.

    If you're still deploying a software update server for older versions of macOS Big Sur won't be able to receive updates unless you move those Macs to another group without the profile (doesn't scale well) or SimpleMDM implements a fix that doesn't install the profile on Big Sur and removes the profile if it's already installed.

    The ideal solution would be https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/40838419-allow-profile-installation-dependent-on-macos-vers but unless it's going to be implemented very…

    The CatalogURL key is no longer supported in macOS 11+. As a result, this key will no longer be specified in profiles that are delivered to macOS 11+ devices. The key will also automatically be removed on devices that are upgraded.

  8. Webhook for new DEP devices

    When a device is added to DEP it would be great to have a webhook notification.

    My goal with this is to take that notification and have it create a new asset for the new Mac in our asset management system.

    I think the Serial number would be the biggest needed component. I'm not sure what all information you can pull from Apple side, but if possible the order number would be really awesome to have and the date it was added to DEP on Apple's end.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ernesto – Slack is already available in Shared Apps

  10. API to retrieve custom attribute values for all devices

    I have to periodically examine and update (where needed) a custom attribute for all the devices in our fleet. This currently requires one API request (with paging) to retrieve the list of devices, and then one request for each and every device to retrieve the custom attribute value. With 2500 devices this is already prohibitively slow.

    An API call that returns the custom attribute values for all devices would solve this neatly and speed up the code thousandfold.

  11. Extend profiles API to include listing/managing all profiles

    Currently the only profiles that can be managed via the API are custom configuration profiles.

    Please extend management of the profiles to include all the profiles that can be created within the SimpleMDM web console so that these profiles can also be managed with the API.

    Given there is no ability to assign devices to multiple device groups, using the API to ensure all device groups get the profiles required is the only means of ensuring consistent application of profiles to device groups.

  13. Provide more details in webhook messages

    We've got a webhook setup to post events to a Slack channel, but the messages don't have enough details to be actionable.

    Including the device name would be a good start!

  14. Dedicated place to request additions to Shared Apps

    It would be helpful to have a dedicated place to submit requests for new apps to be added the Shared Apps (for Munki). We can do it here of course, but seems like maybe it needs it's own section?

  15. Device Last Seen Date

    Previously, when I would inspect our catalog and view the installed applications, the "Device Last Seen" column would display the date of when the device was last seen online.
    Now it displays text like "About 1 month ago".

    This makes it difficult for us to use the data in reports since "3 Days Ago" will change every day but the report that I run today will still show "3 Days Ago" even if I look at it next week.
    Would it be possible to go back to the old way of displaying the Last Seen information (date format)?

    Thank you.

  16. API custom_attribute_values - Set / Get for device_groups

    Hi, customattributevalues can currently be set by device on the /devices endpoint. https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#get-values-for-device

    Could this be implemented for /device_groups as well?

  17. UI for profiles assigned to device

    As we get option to assign profile to specific device (https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404/suggestions/31773355) via API it will be brilliant to also have web UI to work with this.

    Web UI should look similar to "Apps" page under device called "Profiles".

    -List all profiles on device via https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/list_the_installed_profiles (this will list also profiles installed by user)
    -Display if profile is managed or not
    -Ability to display .mobileconfig/profile for user installed profiles (it is returned in ProfileListCommand command)
    -Ability to re-push/reinstall profile(s) (API call to do this will be brilliant)
    -Ability to add profile from configured profiles

    Thanks David

  18. Apply specific profiles to device in admin console

    Now that the API allows us to apply profiles to a specific device, having this functionality extended to the admin console would be quite useful.
    There are definitely scenarios where I want to have the non Mac admin members of my team simply be able to log in and add/remove profiles to specific devices.

  20. Implementation of System Extensions payload in Configs > Profiles > Add Profile

    There is a new profile payload for macOS 10.15.4+ operating systems that facilitates whitelisting system extensions. This payload is in addition to the existing kernel extensions payload: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systemextensions

    Currently the only option in the SimpleMDM Configs > Profiles > Add Profile is for Kernel Extensions.

    It would be very helpful to have the System Extensions payload added as an option when adding a new profile.
