Prestage Enrollment with DEP
Please add the ability to set custom attributes for DEP Devices which have not yet enrolled with SimpleMDM.
This would enable us to set some user attributes (email addresses, user names etc.) before handing the device to the user. Right now we are not able to preset a Google account profile for a user for a full zero touch deployment.

Push scripts and or terminal commands to macOS clients
I need to be able to push scripts and terminal commands to my macOS clients from my MDM solution.
If this was in place, it would open up a lot of possibilities for tighter integration with a package distribution system like Munki.

Event to hook into when a new device enrolls (e.g: webhook)

Allow deploying of files/books to iBooks
Allow deploying of files/books to iBooks. We would like to post and push some internal documentation into iBooks. This would be very helpful for our engineering staff who are out in the field so that they they do not need to carry service manuals with them.

Scope API key
I'd like multiple API keys able to be generated in the UI that have scoped permissions, for example, one API key restricted to only being able to hit the device endpoint, or one API key only being able to access Users.
With this feature, it would reduce the threat of the API key being compromised as it's potential scope would be limited.

Improve app update process for VPP device-based assignment apps
It appears that an admin must manually force updates for apps distributed using VPP device-based assignment? Some features that would be nice to have: 1) Automatically control app updating via a policy setting; 2) Provide an option to queue the update until device is on wifi; 3) Show the current app version from the app store so it can be compared to current version on the device.
43 votesDevice-assigned VPP apps can now be set to auto-update from the Apps > Settings section.
-
Add the ability to schedule forced updates (for both apps and iOS versions)
It'd be great for OS version updates and App Version (for supervised device VPP apps) forced updates to be schedule-able so that you can force the update to go through at a certain time of day (e.g. midnight or 2am when the device is unlikely to be in use).
43 votesiOS updates can be scheduled using an “iOS Auto Update Policy”. VPP apps can be set to auto-update from the Apps > Settings section. For scheduling of VPP app updates, please create a separate feature request so that we may track the particular request.

Customized Managed Software Centre
It would be great to have a way to customize the Munki Managed Software Centre now that Munki integration is part of the beta. If there was a way to apply something like Munki Theme Creator files (https://grovetech.co/blog/munki-theme-creator-for-munki/) This would be amazing.

Unique DEP local admin password (per device)
It would be great if the password of the local administrator account created during the DEP enrolment was unique to that device.
The password could be shown in the device information together with the EFI password and FileVault recovery key.
37 votesThe options to store auto-created admin passwords and to automatically set (and store) a unique password per device has been added to the macOS Account Setup options. Stored passwords can be retrieved from the device record. Link to KB article: https://help.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/5626064805659-macOS-Account-Setup-and-Admin-Passwords

Alerts for MDM unenrollment
Customers need email alerts for the unenrollment of devices. Since Apple does not allow for the prevention of removal of MDM profiles, users can unenroll devices at will. The only way an administrator can know this without being logged into the portal one hundred percent of the time would be a proactive alerting infrastructure. Ideally, this would include multiple alert options including email, SMS and push notification to an admin device.

push trusted certificates
If possible, I would like to be able to push internally signed root certificates to devices so they trust intranet services that are encrypted through those internal certs.
