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)

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 votes -

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…

more granular webhooks
Would be amazing if we could configure webhooks more granularly:
Ie be able to configure the data that gets sent out
Currently a webhook will send
device.changed_group
device.enrolled
device.unenrolled
device.lock.enabled
abm.device.addedWould be nice if we could set it up so a web hook only fires on selected events

API endpoint to request an updated location
We would like to use the API to do automatic location audits, however the location is often not as up to date as we would like. An API endpoint that mirrors the "update" button on the device map would be very helpful!

Disable iOS power button
Allow the iPhone power button to be disabled so that the device can't be powered down if lost or stolen.
I'm aware that for now, this functionality is only available in jailbroken devices running Cydia tweaks, but it would be an awesome enhancement to have in the future.7 votes -
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 profileMust have features:…

import a CSV containing device information for enrollment
We would like to see the ability to upload a CSV exported from our previous mobile device manager to send mass text messages with a group enrollment link.
Use Case: We currently have about 400 devices in the field that need to be remotely enrolled.
This is low priority, we will use the QR code to enroll all of the devices just fine. This is just an improvement suggestion for the future.7 votes -

Allow Webclips to be named differently than the profile name
Webclips have to share the name of the profile, our company has a specific naming convention for profiles and sometimes our webclips need to be named differently.

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.

Allow sorting/filtering on the Device Details > Apps page
It would be very helpful to be able to sort the Apps list on Device details by discovered date. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a filter field to isolate a batch of apps that match the criteria.

Allow installing iOS apps (.ipa) on Macs with Apple Silicon
Macs with an Apple Silicon processor support running iPadOS apps. This could be nice to allow installing such apps via SimpleMDM.

Add an ability to deliver any type of file to the device
I have been writing scripts that export files (company logos, custom apps without signatures, etc) from base64 encoded strings and while it works it is tedious to do.
It would be nice to have a form on the admin portal where we can upload a file or set of files (of any type) and specify the file path where we would like those files to be deployed on the managed device.
The Add Media function already has pdf and epub covered here, but this would dramatically expand the delivery capabilities of the MDM.

Support architecture specific assignments for custom applications.
It would be nice if I could specify that a custom app should only be installed on arm or intel machines.

Specify package install order on joining an app assignment group
I can see that this request has been marked completed:
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 -Ncommand 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…

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.
