  1. Show digits and letters in different colors when revealing passwords

    When revealing passwords (such as Firmware Password), display numbers and letters in different colors. With the current font it's, for example, really hard to separate lower case L from the number one. Attaching a screenshot on how 1Password does this.

  2. Allow for search params via dep_servers/$id/dep_devices

    Similar to /devices/ allow searching for dep devices by "attributes": {"serial_number"}, or "relationships": {"device": {"data": { "type": "id" {$id}}}}.

    Or possibly add a relationship on the device record to its DEP device entry.

  3. Allow Admins to Edit Profile PayloadIdentifier Values

    With admins having to move profiles to MDM in 10.16, it would be great to be able to edit the Simple created PayloadIdentifier for these profiles to match existing values.

    A warning dialog box to explain the issues this may create would be sufficient (and welcome) to help admins know the risks with editing the value.

  4. add ability to upload video under the media catalog

    Currently the media catalog only allows epub and pdf documents. It would be great to have the ability to upload videos directy to the iPad media catalog. Our use cases are for how to setup things that the iPad is specifically used for. We have other methods but this would be quite helpful so that users do not have to rely on a network connection if they are without one.

  6. Deploy config files to iphone apps for OpenVPN

    For OpenVPN I need to download 3-4 config files to the app on Ipads or Iphone. For now it's only possible to deploy the files throug apple configurator 2 once the device is managed. I'd like to be able to send the config files from simple mdm per user. In the case of OpenVPN that would allow to configure a vpn remotely with out needing to deal with custom profiles that don't work properly most of the time.

  7. add more granular SimpleMDM User Roles

    As the lead client systems engineer at a medium sized global organization I would like to be able to more granularly delegate current aspects of User Roles in SimpleMDM for a variety of reasons.

    Example: I want to allow my Service Desk and Audio Visual team members to move devices into and out of groups to control features like Single Application Lock for appliance iPads, without giving them access to modify account level settings or make changes to the group configurations.

    SimpleMDM responded

    Admin configuration permissions are now more granular, allowing for configuration of just profiles, devices, enrollments, or other aspects of SimpleMDM.

    This ticket will remain open as some of the requests related to permission scoped to individual devices or device groups.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  12. Asset management/Security (email addition)

    When enrolling a user into the platform, it would be nice to capture the email account that they used to gain the enrollment link and add to the device information. This allows the Admin an easier time finding the device when a user is added or removed. Another big improvement would be for security, If a device is lost or stolen sometimes having to find "John smith'"s device can be hard and time-consuming when he named it "bobby's world mac" or "this is my mac". By simply having another way to identify the device i.e [email protected] would make it much…

  14. Filter on a field

    For example, show me only devices whose firmware password isn't set.

    Also, it would be handy to be able to generate a report for this rather than just a search filter.

  15. Add column sorting to apps

    When looking at all devices with an installed app, it would be nice to be able to sort by the columns instead of only sorting by device name. This would let me sort to see what devices have old versions of an app installed instead of having to copy and paste into an excel file.

  16. Show Device Lock status via webUI and API

    So - similar to JP's suggestion... https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/36523045-show-a-list-of-locked-devices

    BUT - at the moment a device can have one of three statuses returned via the API

    *enrolled
    *enrolling
    *unenrolled

    Could you also add

    *Lock Command sent
    *Lock command received

    (or similar) as a status. We're in a position where we want to prevent multiple device admins sending lock commands to the same lost device. Yes you can check the logs first, but are folk really going to do that?

    We also want to build a lock functionality via the API - and want to be able to check if a lock command…

  17. show log history of app activity on device

    This is a feature built into apple settings and should be pullable on an mdm solution. So we can report back activity to managers and know which apps are getting used that we deploy. Especially important with an increasingly large remote workforce.

  19. Employee Roster

    Relatively minor request: an employee roster who you could "assign" devices to. This could be a sortable column on the device list and would prevent you from having to including the employee name in the device name or notes. The only alternative I can think of is to create a device group for each employee and assign the devices accordingly. But this would be grossly inefficient.

  20. The ability to reorganize or customize the arrangement of the Profiles page

    The Profiles page becomes cluttered by all the different profiles inserted, it would be very helpful if there was an option to organize them in maps.
