  5. Please support Munki `requires` and `update_for` values

    Please support the configuration of the requires and update_for values in the package interface. It would be lovely to be able to configure these in either the catalog or assignments section. Thank you!

  6. Support the SCEP payload

    We noticed the MDM payload for SCEP is not supported. it would be a great addition. Especially interesting is Dynamic-Microsoft CA mode, so that the payload would be working with OTP on each request to PKI.

  7. 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...

    "Log Details
    Full ID E7B0DBE9-A7C1-4EC8-8CB8-BFA4AB990C59
    Created At 2023-08-17 3:34 PM
    Namespace device
    Type os.update.idle
    Level info
    Device redacted
    UDID F405AA51-FF04-4B71-900F-9C09F0515398
    Serial Number redacted

    Metadata
    {
    "update_version": "13.5.1"
    }
    "

    With OS updates in particular, it's useful to know what mode was used as well. 'downloadonly', 'notifyonly', 'installasap', or 'forceupdate' are all options, but there's no associated data. For some basic commands like…

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Naming Script Jobs during creation with API

    It seems the SimpleMDM API does not allow assigning a name to a job at creation. From what I could understand, the API gives a default name to the job which is “API Job”.

    It could be interesting to allow this customization especially since the name field is mandatory in the UI.

    Script Jobs API : https://api.simplemdm.com/#create-8

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. Sort the Scripts -> Jobs -> History tab by newest to oldest by default

    Right now, the sorting is by name (I think?) which is not useful. It would be great to show the most recently queued jobs in the history first by default.

  18. 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)

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
