  1. API add device attribute 'ethernet_mac'

    As of 20190912 one is able to pull the ethernet mac address from a device via the web interface (/admin/device/<id>) assuming the device has an ethernet port.

    I would like an attribute 'ethernet_mac' to be added to devices that have ethernet ports.

    curl --user ${API_KEY}: https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices/<id>

  3. Clarify interactions between "Delay OS update availability" and "OS Auto Update Policy"

    We had iOS devices updated unexpectedly to iOS 13, even though we had "Delay OS update availability" to 90 days.

    Thanks to a deep investigation by Eric, we realized that the "Delay OS update availability" option applies only to the user updates. And that setting gets ignored when an "OS Auto Update Policy" is set.

    To prevent others from making the same mistake we made, I suggest you change the label description of "Delay OS update availability" on the device restriction profile, to make it explicit that this will only apply to user updates. How about something like "Delay OS…

    The home screen layout has been expanded to support up to 30 icons, as became available in iPadOS 13.

    Apple does not currently support configuration of the Today View via MDM.

  5. API: Retrieve one Custom Attribute

    Call can be like "set value" just with get:

    HTTP Request

    GET https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices/{DEVICE_ID}/custom_attribute_values/{CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_ID}

    Response: as it is when retrieving all:

    {
    data: [
    {
    type: customattributevalue,
    id: nameofattribute,
    attributes: {
    value: valueofattribute
    }
    ]

    Since this request was submitted, we did add this API: https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#get-values-for-device


    This will return all custom attributes for a device (so you would just need to parse the response to get the specific attribute you are looking for).


    I believe this should allow you to accomplish your goals so I will close this request, but if it does not, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and/or submit another suggestion.

    The MDM feature you are referring to is already available under the “Passcode Policy” payload. The key, specifically, is “Maximum auto-lock time” and the value you’re interested in is “Infinite”.

    Worth noting is that Apple MDM does not actually let you specify the auto-lock time on a device. Rather, it lets you specify a maximum value only, then permitting the user to specify their own value that meets your requirements. If Apple expands these capabilities in the future, we will be happy to implement them.

    Finally, there is one way to disable auto lock and that is in conjunction with single app lock. If you are planning on restricting the user to just one app, you can use a “Single App Lock” profile, select the app, and check the box next to “Disable auto lock”.

  10. API endpoint to show if macOS device has user channel enrolled

    It would be helpful for us to have an API endpoint that can tell our integrations whether or not the user channel has been enrolled for a macOS device. This could be as simple as a true/false; bonus points if we can somehow get the user name (not sure if MDM spec permits this).

  11. increase app upload size

    Currently unable to upload software installers over 2000MB. With the addition of Munki and further MacOS integration, it would be helpful to increase upload size. This is especially true on packages like Adobe CC. I am sure there are other examples out there.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    Hi Ernesto – Slack is already available in Shared Apps

  16. 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.

  17. 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…
