Assign profiles to multiple groups from the Profiles Action menu
There's no easy way to assign a single profile to multiple groups at once. Instead, I have to go to the Groups view and click on each group I want to add the profile to, click the profile tab, click Assign Profile, find the Profile I want to add, then click the Assign button. Doing that for each group is tedious.
Instead, I suggest the Profiles view have an option in the Action button to be able to add whichever Profiles are selected to add to Groups. I imagine the resulting view would be a list of groups with a…

Add directory services integration (LDAP/Active Directory)
For enterprise, integration with directory services is essential. I need to be able to target machines and devices for actions and reporting based on an assigned active directory user and/or the user's groups.
This should include enrollment, targeting for policies, targeting for package deployment, etc.
I see there might be some initial work being done in the Configs -> Providers menu, but as is, it is not enough to configure LDAP.

Add option to flag device as stolen - alternate default group and email alerted when a specific SN enrolls
In a scenario when a device is stolen we can flag it as stolen in the SimpleMDM interface and have email alerts be sent to the SimpleMDM Admin's when that SN registers with the service. Additionally, it would be handy to have a separate default group for devices flagged as stolen so if the OS is reinstalled and the device re-enrolls it doesn't end up in the company's default group.

Build in native support for Nudge
As Mac admins, it's fair to say that the current state of patch management isn't great... and that Nudge is the go to open source tool to get devices patched in a timely fashion. I can also see that other vendors have actually integrated Nudge into their products.
It would be awesome if SimpleMDM would consider something similar - not least because of how well you've integrated Munki.
Selfishly it means I don't have to roll it out myself... ;)

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?

Enforce matching name and device_name fields
Note: Due to formatting, not including the _ underscore in device name. Everything was italics.
SimpleMDM has two name values for each device - "name" and "device name". "name" is the value used in the device list (https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices) and the header of a device record. "device name" is the actual hostname set locally. If the hostname changes on device, it will change in SimpleMDM on next inventory refresh. Similarly, "device name" can be edited manually in SimpleMDM and a MDM command will be issued to update it on device.
What if "device name" changes at any point…

Location for macOS
Similar to how you push an app for iOS location, it would be nice to have a headless macOS app that did the same thing. Or perhaps a menu item of some sort.

allow user roles who (only) see their own device
The idea here is to make our employees trust in the MDM solution. I'd like to give them read-only-access to SimpleMDM to see
1) what is configured
2) what I can see about their device
3) what is NOT possible (I frequently get the question "can you read my e-mail now?")Currently, the lowest level of access still allows to see ALL settings, accounts and apps installed on ANY device.
Being able to restrict the app-listing (similar to the settings in "Allow secret information visibility") would be a helpful feature.
Even better would be linking the SAML-identity from the Enrollment…

Add Documents
Apple Configurator 2 when adding documents it picks up what apps are installed and you are able to add documents to that particular app.
In my case, we are using Filemaker Go and we have manuals to go into the app. Having the ability to upload manuals straight to said app via the MDM would be AMAZING!!

Store more information for deleted devices
Deleted devices have very little paper trail to them shown in the web console. If we have the ability to store the custom attributes, notes and who deleted the device with the deleted devices, that would be a huge help in understanding why a specific machine was deleted without searching through other sources.

Review your web portal to make it mobile responsive
It would be great to make your web site responsive when it is displayed on a mobile device.
I daily use my iPhone with Safari to remotely restart some iPads that are lock in security stands. The web admin portal is not responsive, so I have to scroll the web site to view all info and sometimes the text is overlaying.

Support "Non-Removable" flag on deployed iOS Store Apps
As noted here on the SimpleMDM blog, an option was added to iOS starting in 14.x where individual apps can be marked as "non-removable" by the administrator when being deployed.
https://simplemdm.com/blog/mdm-ios-14-macos-11-big-sur/
https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm195"To prevent a user from uninstalling a managed app, mark the app as nonremovable when you assign the managed app to a user or device. Depending on your MDM solution, you might need to deselect a Removable attribute or set a nonremovable attribute. With your MDM solution, you may also be able to set this attribute on apps that are already installed on a device."

Stop WIFI Sharing
As of iOS 11 you can now share your network settings. This poses a problem for devices that aren't company owned. Users can now share the password with other Apple devices that are close by. We would like to prevent MDM devices from sharing passwords with any other device.

Organize Custom Apps the same as Shared Apps
Custom apps should behave the same way as Shared apps - allowing multiple versions to be uploaded and to have those versions displayed in a drop-down under a single app name under Assignment.
Ideally SimpleMDM’s logic for displaying the custom app would follow what’s already in place for shared apps (which is great btw) specifically:
• only 1 instance of the app is displayed in the Catalog by bundle ID or..?
• the ability to select a specific version of the app in the assignment group11 votes -
