  1. Auto-admin password complexity settings

    For the auto-admin password generation done by SimpleMDM, it'd be preferable to be able to manage the level of password complexity when the password is generated. Environments can have different password policy rules that all accounts, including MDM generated, need to abide by. The Dude abides.

    Password storage apps like 1Password and Keeper offer, at minimum, password length, use of numbers, and use of special characters. See attached.

  2. Add API endpoints for viewing notes and updating Device information

    Currently when you call for a Device via API, it's missing the 'Notes' attribute. It would be helpful to be able to access that.

    In addition, an update endpoint for Devices would be incredibly helpful so you could change the name/notes on a device.

  3. Automatically uninstall apps once they fall out of an assignment group selection

    Assignment groups and scopes are great, but limited if they don't clean up after themselves. The option to have managed apps automatically uninstall themselves from devices that fall out of the Assignment Group selections would be great. For example, if a device is moved from one Device Group to another then all the apps assigned to the its new Device Group will get installed, but all of the ones from the old Device Group that are not assigned to the Device Group should be automatically uninstalled.

  5. SimpleMDM Training and Certification

    Why do I ask/suggest?
    - It can be great to meet MDM certification requirements from the Apple Consultants Network (for members).
    - Learn SimpleMDM from the perspective of the creators. Like best practises, how/why things were created the way they are.
    - Impress whoever is impressed by this kind of stuff. Maybe you'll get a raise. And off course get a nice badge for your website or social media! (just kidding)
    - (add your suggestions in a reply)

  6. create a viewable command queue

    I need to be able to see a pending command queue, especially for offline devices. For example, let's say I have a lost/stolen iPad. The device was online yesterday, so I enable lost mode on that device. Since it's not currently online, that command is queued in the background until it's online again, but there is no indication whatsoever that the command is queued up.

  7. API: Dont send Filevault keys by default from /devices

    Separate the device API so it does not return filevault keys with every device object. Or create a filter to omit the keys.

    I keep running into scenarios where using the device API means scrubbing file vault keys every single time I make it get request to https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices
    It gets pretty messy downstream especially with logs.

  8. Route SSO-only users to their account-specific SSO

    When our SSO-only users go to a SimpleMDM bookmark in their browser, they get routed to the email/password login page. Since SSO login (via SAML) requires an organization-specific sign-in page, they don't know where to go to sign in.

    A suggestion that I hope would help here would be to route a user whose account is SSO-only to their organization's SAML login page so that they can complete their sign-in flow. This could either be letting them enter their email on the existing login page or having a button on the page for "Log in via SSO" so they could…

  10. Implement a self enrolment portal for end users

    I would like to be able to get users to simply enrol in SimpleMDM through a URL, similar to JAMFnow enrolment portal.

    This is a very simple way to boost enrolment on user side and allows administrators to easily enrol devices on the go. No longer remembering long enrolment URLs.

    JAMFnow workflow
    User goes to company.jamfnow.com
    User is provided with dropdown list of available groups to enrol in
    User is prompted for first name and last name
    User is asked to enter a passcode (set by admin)
    User clicks enrol and is now provided with relevant profile

    Must have features:…

  11. Control Webhook data

    Webhooks are very limited in what they provide without triggering another API call to pull in more information. The ability to control the payload within the webhook endpoint creation screen would be a huge help in interfacing with other programs. The ability to add static data to the payload (like we can already do to the header) or be able to add dynamic data through attribute support.

  12. Specify package install order on joining an app assignment group

    I can see that this request has been marked completed:

    https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/44830375-specify-package-install-order-during-prestage

    and I've tested the package order stuff in our environment - and it works really well... but ONLY for pre-stage setups. And they don't always work.

    So - if an end user needs to manually enrol a device either via an enrolment link or a sudo profiles -N command to re-trigger an automated enrolment then all that awesome install logic disappears, and the packages get installed in what seems to be a random order. As Eric says in that feature request:

    "Some vendors supply their products as multiple packages…

  14. Collect RAM inventory data

    Hello,

    We would like to see the amount of RAM a computer has from within SMDM, within each device inventory and on the Device tab as an extra column.

    Our team is looking to refresh hardware, and RAM is the main criteria, but we are unable to gather this data, and everymac.com information is not accurate.

    Note that this feature request is separate from the "report on mac model, installed ram and cpu type," because we are not looking to access the data via API.

  15. Make Lock PIN #s / Filevault Recovery Keys Available Via the API

    Same logic as Filevault Keys. Make them available via API.

    Bonus points if the new API copes could limit access to PINs/ FV keys.

  16. Support per admin user time zone settings

    Under Account > Settings > Time zone an admin can set the global time zone for their entire SimpleMDM instance. This is the timestamp used in logs, enrollment date, etc.

    I'd like the ability for each admin user to set their own time zone as well. Having a per account setting is a small quality of life change which makes it easier to grok events. I prefer to read timestamps in my local time. Time data itself should not change, only what's presented to the user.

  18. Improve ICCID/IMEI Searching

    Currently the IMEI and ICCID values are "padded" with spaces.
    Example:
    IMEI: 12<space>345678<space>901234<space>5

    Searching for 123456789012345 returns no results.
    To get a match, the search must include the the spaces exactly as shown in SimpleMDM.

    This is a problem when copying over values from a carrier or system that does not include the spaces.

    Can the search be fixed to return a result with or without spaces?

  20. Expand Webhook triggers

    If we had the ability to choose which webhook events to subscribe per endpoint (https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46289557-support-choosing-which-webhook-events-to-subscribe), the addition of more triggers would be valuable in automating and validating workflows.
    Here are some of the possible triggers:
    abm.device.removed
    profile.added
    profile.updated
    profile.removed
    application.added
    application.updated
    application.removed
    script.added
    script.updated
    script.removed
    script.job.run
