  1. Highlight URL Query String Support in API Documentation

    In the provided API documentation, the usage examples suggest using -F parameters when making a POST request with curl: https://api.simplemdm.com/#create-8

    However, I observed that the parameters can also be passed as part of the URL query string, and this approach works as expected.

    This flexibility is not currently mentioned in the documentation, and it could help clarify the API usage for developers.

  2. 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…

  4. 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.

  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. 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. 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…

  9. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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:…

  14. 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.

  18. 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.
