Hide Apps in the Catalog (and in the assignment drop downs as well)
I would like to see a feature that would allow me to "Hide" VPP Apps in the catalog, and thereby also hide them in the drop downs when assigning them.
The dilemma that I’m running into is that some apps vendors have issued completely new apps under the same name to replace an old one: For example, GoToMeeting and Sharefile both have “Old” and “New” apps in the system. I would like to hide the old ones in the catalog and the in the dropdowns so that I don’t accidentally assign them.
There are also apps that vendors no longer…

Add Support for Munki Conditionals to SimpleMDM's Munki Implementation
Munki includes the ability to set "conditionals" for items in specific manifests to provide granular controls over the installation or appearance of items.
For example, if I have a multi-site organization, I can set a conditional on a NOPKG item that installs a printer so that the printer install NOPKG only shows up if the device user is connecting to Munki from a specific subnet. This allows me to refine the view of available self-service printers so that, for example, the printers available at Site A only show up if the user's local IP address matches the subnet at Site…

to implement iOS Per-App VPN (Per-App VPN UUID assignment via ApplicationAttributes on managed apps)

notification when a duplicate serial number enrolls
So - I appreciate this is kind covered here:
But... we're drowning in duplicate entries. Basically they're almost all devices that have gone for repair, resulting in a new UUID (with the occasional virtual machine)
a webhook or other notification when a device with a pre-existing serial number enrols would really help us with our housekeeping.

Include "less than macOS version" and "greater than macOS version" for profile scoping
It would be very helpful to be able to define "less than" and "greater than" macOS version when scoping profiles. For example, I would prefer to specify "less than macOS 12" for a profile to apply to all versions of macOS 11. As it is, I have to update the maximum OS version every time a new dot release comes out.

Schedule Regular Application Updates
Similar to scheduled iOS update policy, we would love to see clients check in for applications in our catalog and perform regular scheduled non-business hours updates. This would be for all Apps (VPP and Enterprise).
When updating enterprise app binaries, users sometimes reject the "Smart Update" if they feel it interrupts their workday, so a regular daily or weekly check in to our catalog by the devices to find the most recent app version available would keep all devices current across both VPP and enterprise apps.

Add Device Group to the standard attributes
Adding the devices group to the standard attributes would make it much easier to customize profiles based on the group of the device. This is somewhat possible to do currently with a default value on a custom attribute, but a standard attribute would be preferred.

Add Dock Customization Profiles
The Apple MDM Spec includes huge amounts of dock configuration options for MacOS, but I can only use those with custom configuration profiles at the moment. I would love to be able to choose what items are in the docks for specific profiles, maybe even a UI that would allow us to add Shared and VPP apps to the dock.

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
updateendpoint for Devices would be incredibly helpful so you could change the name/notes on a device.9 votes -
Make logging more detailed for MDM commands
While I appreciate how detailed SimpleMDM logs can be, especially with raw responses from MDM, sometimes they need to provide more detail. For example, when sending an OS update command the log only contains...

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.

Provide option to flush attributes and recalculate the device name on re-enrollment.
If a device is wiped and re-enrolled, but is not deleted, the device name and attributes 'stick' to the device when it is re-enrolled. Deleting devices immediately isn't always possible, since we may need to wait for a queued wipe command to reach the device.

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.

Include copy button for admin password.
With the escrowed admin password feature, it would be helpful to include a small copy button (similar to those seen on code training/doc sites) to easily copy the password.
As it is now, if you reveal the password, then triple click to select, you end up grabbing a carriage return (and text styling) that will make the password invalid when pasted.

SimpleMDM granularity
Hi SimpleMDM Dev Team:
Thank you for allowing this space to share creative thought in the ongoing development of SimpleMDM. May some of my ideas have already been discussed, maybe not-- regardless I trust this will be taken into consideration.
Since the slow death of Apple's Profile Manager has left very little control to us in IT as Admins and Engineers, it would be nice to see SimpleMDM pick up the slack and not just fill in the gap but lead with the innovation of a few things in the macOS platform so that many of us can continue to…

Enrollment Setting - Unassign Profiles at Re-Enrollment
We heavily utilize individually assigned profiles for Macs. There are also a few default profiles assigned via group. When a new out-of-box Mac is being enrolled for the first time only those default profiles are installed (around 5). Profiles are installed quickly and reliably. Later on during provisioning our configuration management tool handles installing other required per device profiles.
However, when a Mac from stock is being re-enrolled to be used by another person, every previously assigned profile is installed at setup assistant. Since in my case those individually assigned profiles are usually per user, team, department, etc. and no…

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)
