  1. Add a user preference to set the default filter for the Devices list.

    The new filtering defaults to Name, which I very rarely use. I'm having to switch the filter to Serial every time I load the devices list.

    This is now available with Dynamic Groups in the new Groups interface (currently in Preview). This update also adds custom filtering to the Devices list. Sign up here to have the preview enabled on your account.

  3. Support for Apple's MDM Beta Management - Enrolling devices into betas during ADE

    Apple introduced a new API endpoint in their MDM Beta Management feature update in April 2024; this allows organisations to auto enrol devices into beta programs as part of ADE deployments.

    It would be very useful if this feature could be added to SimpleMDM as it would allow organisations to specify a beta OS version that a device should have installed as the minimum version when proceeding through Setup Assistant, avoiding the need to manually sign into iCloud on a device in order to get beta seed options in the Software Update systems setting pane.

    The option to enroll and force a device to update to a beta OS version during ADE has been added under the Minimum OS Version Requirement section on the Automated Enrollment/DEP Settings page.

  4. Show assignment groups a profile is added to in Profiles page

    The Profiles UI page currently has a column for Groups Assigned (this means device groups) and Devices Assigned. There is no column for Assignment Groups Assigned, meaning it can look like they're not assigned to anything from this page but of course they are in the Assignment Groups page. There needs to be another column here allowing us to click through to show the Assignment Groups that the profile is added to.

    This is now available with Dynamic Groups (currently in Preview). Sign up here to have the preview enabled on your account. A "Groups" tab has been added to the Device Details, Profile Details, and App Details pages which allows for viewing/managing groups assignments for those objects.

  5. Support account-driven user enrollment

    Initially announced at WWDC21 [1], macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices starting with iOS15 and macOS Monterey support a workflow called account-driven user enrollment [2]. This workflow differs from the existing user enrollment methodology in that it uses a slightly different protocol and requires the implementation of a session token on the MDM provider side.

    We are interested in the account-driven workflow because it removes the need to distribute enrollment profiles or have users visit an enrollment URL and download / install the profile. The improved UX, when combined with this year's promised release of federated authentication to more providers in…

  6. Extend the assignment group API to support the new profile assignment feature.

    The new ability to assign profiles via assignment groups (with varying priority levels) is huge, and is going to make a big difference in our environment...

    ...but, there's not currently scope to

    a) assign profiles to assignment groups via the API

    and

    b) you can't set (or update) the profile priority in an assignment group via the API

    Please can we have this added to the API too?

  7. Extend the devices - list profiles API method to return ALL profiles that a device is assigned

    The list profiles method in the devices API endpoint only returns profiles that are directly assigned to the device; it would be very helpful to the data returned included all profiles assigned to that device, including profiles assigned through groups, etc, along with an attribute that identifies how the profile is assigned.

  8. Apps & Media > Assignment UI redesign

    The user interface for the Apps & Media > Assignment area of SimpleMDM is rather clunky for viewing and adding assignment groups, etc.

    For example, after creating an assignment group to allocate profiles to, picking/selecting a profile is a pain as you have to know the name of a profile in order for it to appear in the list of app/media/profiles that can be added to the group. This is most painful when there are more than three profiles that can be selected (in my particular case there are over twenty profiles that can possibly be selected).

    This part of…

  10. Support the new minimum macOS version at enrollment feature

    Apple's documentation shows that a new feature will allow MDMs to set a minimum version during ADE enrollments. Please support this for testing during the macOS 14 beta cycle.

    Closing this since the feature was added and it will give some votes back. However, suggestions in comments have been noted. Feel free to open a new request with any additional suggestions.

  11. reduce the size of colored ovals in new devices UI

    In the new devices UI, the colored ovals surrounding status on each line are distractingly large.

  13. Include a 'Devices' (or 'Assigned Devices') tab on a device group page

    When inspecting a device group, it would be very helpful and handy to have a tab to inspect/manage the devices associated with that group.
    Currently you have to go back to the Groups page, find the desired group, and then click on the number in the Assigned Devices column to look at the devices in that group and perform any management activities on them.

  14. Improve Device Search with More Attributes

    Currently device search only supports device name, serial number, IMEI, MAC, and phone number.

    Scenarios where search doesn't return the results I need:
    - When I need to search by a custom attribute. For example, say I want to return all devices where the username attribute is "nathaniel.strauss". I am unable to since those attributes are not exposed in search. This is a common ask - "How many devices does x have?" The same holds true for any custom attribute set from SAML assertion - team, department, etc.
    - When the device name (SimpleMDM defined) doesn't match the Device Name…

    Much of the functionality requested here is now available with Dynamic Groups (currently in Preview). This update adds custom filtering to the Devices list. Sign up here to have the preview enabled on your account.


    Since this post became a bit of a catch-all for several requests, many of which have been included in the Groups update, I am marking it as complete. However, I would encourage you to submit new suggestions if there are any requests that have not been adequately addressed in the Groups update.

  15. Support the new FileVault enforcement key in macOS 14

    macOS 14 adds support for the new "ForceEnableInSetupAssistant" key to require that devices enable FileVault during Setup Assistant. Please support this key for testing during the macOS 14 beta cycle.

  17. Support "Non-Removable" flag on deployed iOS Store Apps

    As noted here on the SimpleMDM blog, an option was added to iOS starting in 14.x where individual apps can be marked as "non-removable" by the administrator when being deployed.

    https://simplemdm.com/blog/mdm-ios-14-macos-11-big-sur/
    https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm195

    "To prevent a user from uninstalling a managed app, mark the app as nonremovable when you assign the managed app to a user or device. Depending on your MDM solution, you might need to deselect a Removable attribute or set a nonremovable attribute. With your MDM solution, you may also be able to set this attribute on apps that are already installed on a device."

    I feel it…

  20. Provide a mechanism to assign profiles and applications based on attribute values.
