  1. Add setting for a profiles level in the web UI

    Currently profiles like password and screensaver settings are set by SimpleMDM as user-level profiles in macos. With MDM that means only 1 user will have that profile enforced. However, your organization might be obligated to enforce that policy for all users organization wide. It is common for a Mac in a corporate fleet to have at least 2 users. If MDM makes it so user-level profiles are only pushed to 1 of the users, you're not in compliance.

    If it's possible for a profile to be device-level, we should be able to set it as such in the web interface.…

    The "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile." option now exists on all profiles in the UI that support both user and device channel installations.

  3. Add authentication to enrollment

    In evaluating other MDM services, I've found that enrollment that requires some kind of end-user authentication automatically satisfies the User Approval portion of MDM enrollment when initiated using DEP.

    This is, of course, in addition to the security concerns of anybody with a DEP-included serial being able to enroll without authentication.

    SimpleMDM currently supports LDAP authentication during DEP enrollment. Starting with iOS 13 and macOS 10.15, SAML authentication is also supported during DEP enrollment.

  4. Display lastSeen on the device page

    Right now it's only shown on the device list page but not on the page for a specific device.
    Additionally, it would be nice to put the true timestamp in the alt field so that you can see the exact time on hover.

  5. Return the "Marketing/Human Readable" name for a Mac via the API

    At the moment SimpleMDM can return a model name and a product name via the API.

    However, the product names aren't unique - Apple occasionally reuse them... would it be possible for SimpleMDM to return the "Human Readable" name as well i.e. "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)" rather than just MacBookPro13,2

    We'd like to use SimpleMDM to populate our asset management system via the API - and would prefer to use the Human Readable name

    There are examples of how to do this here: http://scriptingosx.com/2017/11/get-the-marketing-name-for-a-mac/ and here https://github.com/MagerValp/MacModelShelf

    "tvOS will add support for restrictions and configurations currently found in iOS. Specifically:

    Home screen layouts"

  7. Manually assign AirPrint Profiles without using groups

    The only way to deploy AirPrint Profiles is via group memberships but in order to limit each iPad to only see the printer it should print to I would have to create a group for every single printer. This would mean several dozen groups at least.

    It would be great if we can just go into a device's information and select which AirPrint profiles it should receive.

    SimpleMDM added the ability to assign all profiles at the device level a while back - this is now supported.

  8. Reset Firmware

    An easy way to remove an EFI Firmware Password from a users device (Maybe a click button in the console where the password is displayed?) and also a way to re-apply it more easily after performing SMC (System Management Controller) and PRAM/NVRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory / Non-Volatile RAM) resets. (I contacted support beforehand. Even better would be a way to push an SMC reset to the machine, or PRAM, but I don't think this would be possible???

    At the moment, I am booting into recovery on a users device, turning the EFI PW off, restarting, performing a SMC reset…

    The “Actions” button under the device details screen now includes an option to “Clear firmware password”. This is also available via the API.

  10. Reveal sidebar categories in all contexts

    On the left side of the main view, I'd like to be able to see all the links for all contexts all the time. So often when I'm working on a new deployment, I find myself switching from Devices --> Groups to Apps --> Assignments to Configs --> Providers. If the sub-contexts for Config (eg Profiles Providers Certificates Attributes) were visible when I'm editing Devices --> Groups, it would save me a click and help me build a better mental map of where everything is. I sometimes find myself clicking around looking for which context has the right sub-context I…

  12. extend OS auto update policy to include macOS

    Would LOVE to be able to manage OS update policy for macOS devices directly from SimpleMDM rather than needing a custom profile.

    The macOS update policy can be controlled with the Restriction profile within SimpleMDM. The setting is called “Delay OS update availability” and is available at the bottom of the “Apps & OS” section.

  13. User Enrollment

    Please consider adding User Enrollment support, as recently demonstrated at the Apple WWDC, into the basic framework. It would make our lives infinitely easier to be able to have users logon with their AD/OKTA/PingOne/Whatever account instead of having to manage multiple accounts. Thanks.

  14. Event to Webhook for Group membership set/changed

    If a device is add to a group receiving a webhook on such event would be great.
    The group assignment is already available via API - receiving event details + device details would help along automated workflows, audit trails etc.

  16. Add Serial Number to Device View Columns

    On the main Devices View, include the serial number as a column. Or have the ability for Users to add fields to this table to customize the view.

    We added this option a while back but it seems we missed updating this post. You can now edit the columns shown on the main Devices page by clicking the gear icon and selecting which fields you want to be displayed.

  17. 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>

  19. 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.
