  1. app version device distribution

    See adoption of a specific app version.

    We publish continuously new versions of our mdm distributed enterprise app. Often, however, users decline to update to a certain version because e.g. they're in the middle of using the app. We know how to send another updated cycle out to the devices, but sometimes it would be helpful to see which devices have a specific version. Right now we have to manually go into each device, then to the apps section to see what's going on. Quite annoying for 30 devices and the numbers of our devices will increase in the future.

    I'm marking this one as completed because SimpleMDM does display this information on the "Installs" tab under the App Details (Catalog > click app name > Installs tab).


    If there is something else that you would like to see added to expand upon this, please submit a new suggestion. Thanks!

  2. Integrate with Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP)

    As of February 2014, devices purchased directly from Apple can automatically enroll with an MDM provider without a user doing anything! Please add support for DeviceLink to wok with this program.

  3. Last reported IP of a device in Network.

    Possibility of showing last reported IP of a device in management console under Network which would help confirm that devices out in the field are matching the DHCP reservation assignments.

  4. Pull (available) MAC Addresses from supervised devices to improve device onboarding

    Currently, SimpleMDM by default pulls the WiFi MAC address for all supervised devices, but does not pull ethernet MAC address.

    During our device onboarding process, some of our Apple devices do not configure themselves over Wifi, and hence it is more valuable for us to pull the eth card MAC address instead (which now has to be manually copied by hand/scanned from device packaging/pulled from Network settings in MacOS).

    We would like the option for SimpleMDM to retrieve both the WiFi and ethernet MAC Address (if available) for all supervised devices.

    iOS 13+ and macOS 10.15+ will provide MAC addresses for additional devices beyond just the wireless network interface.

  5. Store the remote lock/wipe PIN in the SimpleMDM webUI somewhere

    At the moment, when you send a remote lock/wipe command - you're required to set a PIN. But that PIN isn't retained by SimpleMDM... which means you're trusting ME to do it... ;)

    But more seriously - it would great for that PIN to be viewable in SimpleMDM. My use case? Service desk admin sends a remote lock for a stolen device, finishes their shift, goes home.

    Laptop is found, someone else on helpdesk can pick up the ticket, retrieve the PIN, and send it on to the end user.

    Lock/Wipe PINs are now saved by SimpleMDM. They can be retrieved from the device details screen and the deleted device details screen.

  6. Integrate with AutoPkg

    Please provide a consumable url for packages distributed via the Munki method for use with AutoPkg as a MUNKIREPO e.g. `defaults write com.github.autopkg MUNKIREPO /path/to/munki_repo`. Most Munki admins leverage AutoPkg for programmatic package management. Lovely work, thanks!

  8. list which groups are assigned a profile in the Profiles UI

    In the Profile UI I can see how many groups are assigned the profile, but I can't see which groups those are.

    This request is to add some sort of UI to display which group names (and maybe a direct link to said group) are assigned the profile. It would make troubleshooting the discovery of which group is missing the profile easier, etc.

    A list of groups with a specific profile assigned can now be viewed in the admin interface. To view the groups with a profile assigned, go to the Profiles page, look under the "Groups Assigned" column next to the profile name. If the profile is assigned to any groups, you can click the number to view those groups.

  9. Show iOS version on the devices list

    The devices list is super useful and it would be great to add a column that shows the OS version. I know you can export the devices list to get this information, but it would be good to have it front-and-center.

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

  10. Extend the devices - list profiles API method to return ALL profiles that a device is assigned

    The list profiles method in the devices API endpoint only returns profiles that are directly assigned to the device; it would be very helpful to the data returned included all profiles assigned to that device, including profiles assigned through groups, etc, along with an attribute that identifies how the profile is assigned.

  11. Update multiple custom attributes via API

    Currently only one custom attribute can be updated per API call either for a single device or device group.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#set-value-for-device
    https://api.simplemdm.com/#set-value-for-group

    Say I want to set multiple custom attributes within a single workflow. I need to make as many API calls as there are attributes to update. In my recent work that's four calls which could've been one. This also simplifies developing with the API - don't have to iterate through values along with grokking associated return statuses.

    I'm requesting the functionality to update multiple custom attributes with one API call.

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

    Remove attribute name from endpoint URL and…

  12. Wifi MAC randomization key support in UI

    iOS 14 will default to using MAC address randomization when connecting to wifi networks. The current UI does not support that key in the built-in Profile builder.

    This request is to add support for the key DisableAssociationMACRandomization to manage that feature per network.

  15. Allow Duplicate Key Values for Managed App Configurations

    Our application, Redzone and Redzone Admin, allows for App Configurations with the following keys:
    - serverURL (string)
    - serverDescription (string)

    There are many customers who have access to multiple server's and therefore would benefit from the ability to push multiple server's to their devices. In most MDM's, we provide our customers with an XML file they can import that makes use of an array to pass multiple sites at once.

    SimpleMDM doesn't allow the upload of an PLIST/XML file to achieve this functionality, nor does it allow for duplicate key values and therefore our customers with multiple servers are unable…

    The ability to upload a custom plist for managed app configurations including duplicate values was added a while back. The "Use custom config plist" option is under the Managed Configurations tab of the App Details page.

  16. Play a sound

    From the iCloud interface you are able to play a sound to find your iPhone. I just noticed that the Simple MDM does not list that as an action to preform. I realize you could call the phone, but if the switch is on mute, the ringer will not sound, but I believe the play a sound from iCloud works when the mute switch is enabled.

  18. Maximum macOS version scope value on custom config profiles + provided profiles

    The new Minimum macOS version scope is very helpful.
    Can you please implement a Maximum macOS version scope to limit profiles (such as the KEXT whitelist profile) to stop profiles being deployed to macOS versions.

  20. 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?
