I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. An option to automatically whitelist any apps assigned to a device group.

    By default, we restrict what apps can be installed on iOS devices. Right now, if I want to deploy a VPP app to an iOS device, I have to add it to the device assignment AND remember to go to my restrictions profile and whitelist it.

    I suggest that all assigned apps be automatically whitelisted, or at least have a setting that can turn on this automatic whitelisting if the SimpleMDM admin selects it.

    Thanks!

  2. Device Groups API - add methods

    The Device Groups API does not have the following methods:
    create, update, remove/delete, it would be very helpful if this endpoint could have those methods added, along with various options such as:

    create: parameters "name" (required), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional, default False)

    update: parameters "name" (optional), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional)

    delete: parameters: "device_group_id"

    Also, the clone method does not currently take any parameters that would allow device group settings to be configured, it would be helpful if the clone method was updated to allow the use of these parameters:

    "name" (required), "lock_screen_message" (optional), and "track_device_location" (optional, default False)

  3. Add new Microsoft Teams to Shared Catalog

    Microsoft is rolling out an updated Teams experience or Mac, with a new binary that can be installed alongside the Classic teams experience. Please add the standalone installer to the shared catalog alongside the existing Teams (and possibly rename teams to Classic, like MS does?) https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2249065

  5. Return the effective value of custom attributes in the API and exports

    Currently, exports and the API will only return a custom attribute's value if the value is overridden at the device level - otherwise, it returns an empty string. Please modify the API and exports endpoint to return the effective value of the field. It would also be helpful if there was a taxonomy that outlined where that value came from (e.g. is it the default, group level, or device level override).

  9. Route SSO-only users to their account-specific SSO

    When our SSO-only users go to a SimpleMDM bookmark in their browser, they get routed to the email/password login page. Since SSO login (via SAML) requires an organization-specific sign-in page, they don't know where to go to sign in.

    A suggestion that I hope would help here would be to route a user whose account is SSO-only to their organization's SAML login page so that they can complete their sign-in flow. This could either be letting them enter their email on the existing login page or having a button on the page for "Log in via SSO" so they could…

  10. Record administrator logins in Logs

    Currently, there is no visibility in the logs when an admin session is started from a login. We'd like to see log in and log out for at least "local" SimpleMDM accounts if not IdP initiated sessions as well, populated into the admin namespace. It would be helpful if the logs contained the account email, IP address they are logging in from, and the usual timestamp / "At" value. A user agent value would be a bonus but it's understandable if that's not available.

  12. Filter Profiles by Device Type, Assigned Groups

    It would be amazing if we could get more granular filtering for the profiles section. It gets very messy very quick.

    Maybe a way to filter profiles by group, or profiles by device type would be amazing.

  13. Allow setting device naming schemes per enrollment

    We use the device naming template under Settings -> General. This works great for our macOS and iOS devices that come in through manual enrollment and ADE as our template contains the serial number attribute, but fails when User Enrolled devices are named because that attribute isn't available. It would be useful to allow us to set a different device naming scheme per enrollment, or at least to set a backup or some sort of logic should one of the attributes be null.

  16. Option to auto renew ACME Certificates - DDM and Profiles - Managed Device Attestation

    We would like an option to have ACME certificates auto renew. This is a feature currently available for SCEP issued certificates.

    Our use case is using managed device attestation and the new ACME payloads to create certificates that can be used for 802.1x, but we need them to auto renew before they expire (for internal reasons the validity period is 91 days).

    It would also be helpful to provide tokenised values for the CN.

  17. Saving column sorting / pin column

    If device columns can't be custom sorted and saved at this time, it would be nice if the "pin to the left" feature remained pinned - not sure if it times out or reverts after X amount of navigating to different groups, but it doesn't stay pinned too long.

    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.

  19. Support custom MDM commands

    I'd like to see SimpleMDM support sending custom MDM commands with arbitrary payloads. Advantages being...

    1. Customers don't have to wait for SimpleMDM to implement new commands to start testing. With WWDC coming up this is especially pressing because new commands and/or keys need to be tested quickly during the summer beta cycle for any chance at improvement.
    2. Possible to test beta/RSR updates by passing in the product key to a software update command.
    3. WS1 has this feature and please don't make me say anything nice about WS1.

    As an example, here's how WS1 implements it with the author using EnableRemoteDesktop. …

  20. Integrate Google’s Santa project into SimpleMDM?

    The clue is in the name SimpleMDM - your product makes the difficult parts of managing your Mac devices simple - setting up and managing Munki could be challenging, and now the easy to use implementation you’ve provided is a great fit for lots of organisations.

    Can you apply the same magic to Google Santa please?

    https://github.com/google/santa

    Here’s the use case. In our organisation, end users run with administrator access. This empowers them to do all the things they need to do to be productive, and ensures IT isn't a bottleneck…

    …but - with great power comes great responsibility. There’s…
