Add to the "Enable Remote Desktop" some actual setting of privs
After banging my head for a year or two on new machines being completely unreachable or at best screen-sharing-only, I think it's because while you can turn ARD ON via MDM, all users by default have no privileges.
So I now have a kickstart script to do this.
It seems to me this should be a fundamental part of the "enable" action. For the device action, it could maybe look like the attached. For an enrollment .. I'm not sure, can you execute scripts at enrol time? If not maybe automatically afterwards?
Some of the necessary kickstart commands are here…

Show what OS would get installed based on major and minor update delays
When configuring a restriction profile, we can set update delays for iOS, macOS major and macOS minor. Let the editing view preview what the expected offered version of a software update check would be, since it's relative to the age of the release.
For example, as I submit this, macOS 15.1 is 25 days old.
A minor deferral for 30 days would therefore yield devices finding 15.0.1
Deferral of 21 would offer 15.1.
Add a line under each setting that does this calculation, indicating that "as of today, the offered minor version would be X", which updates as the admin…1 vote -
Ability to export dep devices
Ability to export a csv of DEP Devices in the Enrollment tab.
Use-Case: We switched to simplemdm from AirWatchOne, and not alot of our devices were actually truely managed there because it never worked.
Would be nice to track devices that are enrolled,awaiting enrollment so we could export a csv and then match serial numbers to AWO and work with that user to either replace there device or get it into SimpleMDM.

Include VPP License totals and assignment counts in API output
We need a way to get overage data on VPP licenses, this is not possible currently with the existing API for apps.
We'd love to have the list method - https://api.simplemdm.com/#list-all - extended so that any app in the catalog that is a VPP app includes a total licenses count and an assigned licenses count.
Adding this information would be very useful for us to generate reports/alerts on overages so we can better handle those license assignments.

List all assignment methods that add a profile to a device
When a profile is assigned both directly and via Group membership, it only lists as assigned via "direct". It would be more complete to list it as "direct" AND <link to group>,

Add Python from python.org
I have a script in a LaunchDaemon that embeds Python to send email. It would be nice if all our Macs could automatically keep Python up-to-date.

Allow re-arranging device filters in dynamic group configuration
When creating device filter for a new or existing dynamic group you sometimes find yourself in the position where you want to add a top-most including/excluding condition, but it's too late for that: you already have 5-10 conditions in place.
Example:
Let's say you have this existing/already typed filter:
Custom attribute "office" equals "x" AND Model Identifier starts with "iPad*" AND ( Static group equals "foo" OR Static group equals "bar" )And want to make some special devices part of the group too, based on a
vipcustom attribute.What you need in the end is:

Block enrollment of macOS versions older than 14.x

Device audit screen? Find duplicates, sort by last seen?
Would love to see an administrative screen that accomplishes a few things:
Lets us quickly identify duplicate entries, e.g. If a device was enrolled, then reset, then enrolled again (deduplicate by serial number) so we can cleanup.
Identify devices that may have gone missing or devices that have been offline for a suspicious amount of time (combination of last-seen and location change data visible at a glance)
Our use case is we want to conduct, e.g. Weekly device audits, and right now going through the listing manually is a pain.

Allow custom URL for welcome screen
It would be excellent to allow a custom URL for the "Welcome screen" contents, including providing drop-in HTML for a "start enrollment" button. This way, we could for example redirect to existing EULA agreement pages and pop the user right back to the SimpleMDM workflow.

Restrict access to devices based on tags
Linked in some ways to this request https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/37168075-add-more-granular-simplemdm-user-roles… (and yes, please more granular permissions!)
Would it be possible to restrict access to devices in MDM based on some kind of tagging?
So I can tag devices as “Kiosk” and grant helpdesk full admin access over those devices, but they won’t be able to see or modify devices tagged “user laptop” for example.
At the moment we achieve this using two separate SimpleMDM tenants, which works - but makes our plans to use auto-assignment of devices from Apple Business manager more challenging…

Allow Admins to Edit Profile PayloadIdentifier Values
With admins having to move profiles to MDM in 10.16, it would be great to be able to edit the Simple created PayloadIdentifier for these profiles to match existing values.
A warning dialog box to explain the issues this may create would be sufficient (and welcome) to help admins know the risks with editing the value.

Don't truncate package name when space is available
Under App & Media → Assignment any packages assigned to a group get their name truncated to 24-ish characters. E.g. "se.chalmers.firstboot-1.4.pkg" gets truncated to "se.chalmers.firstboot-1...." This makes it really hard for us to pick the right package.

Please support the normal managed_installs order, e.g. alphabetical order so that one can specify the order that munki managed installs get installed in by naming packages alphabetically.

Managed Application Installation Status
There should be some way in the console (and API) to see the installation status of apps deployed through SimpleMDM, using statuses like "Installed", "Pending", "Error", etc.
Currently, you can see which apps are installed on a device, but there's no way to identify applications that should or will be installed, whether we're waiting for the device to come online, or if there's been an error in the installation process.
In a standalone Munki environment I would could use Sal/MunkiReport as requested in https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/40754131-integrate-munkireport-or-sal
Alternately, I can also forward the Munki logs in /Library/Managed Installs/Logs to a SEIM like Splunk…
