  1. 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.

  2. Support choosing which webhook events to subscribe to per endpoint

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#webhooks

    The current webhook events are as follows...

    device.changed_group
    device.enrolled
    device.unenrolled
    device.lock.enabled
    abm.device.added

    Whenever any of these events occurs, the webhook endpoint is pinged. However, processing these can get particularly noisy, especially in large environments and (hopefully) as SimpleMDM adds more supported events.

    I am asking to add support for selecting which events are subscribed to per webhook endpoint. This way only events needed for a particular workflow are sent and the webhook receiver requires less work to filter out unneeded data.

    The UI could look like other SimpleMDM settings with checkboxes for each event, where by default all are…

  4. Update/upgrade WhatsApp in Shared Apps for macOS

    The current version has now "WhatsApp (old)" as name and the logo is grey now instead of green. It also suggests downloading the new app. But I prefer to install it from the self-service app (Munki). So can you add/update it?

  5. Include "less than macOS version" and "greater than macOS version" for profile scoping

    It would be very helpful to be able to define "less than" and "greater than" macOS version when scoping profiles. For example, I would prefer to specify "less than macOS 12" for a profile to apply to all versions of macOS 11. As it is, I have to update the maximum OS version every time a new dot release comes out.

  6. Allow a scheduled rotation of auto-admin passwords

    I'd like to see the ability for SimpleMDM to auto-rotate admin passwords on a specified schedule. Right now that task is only completed by the UI or an API script. The UI clicking is impossible with 1000s of machines and scripting it with an API call takes hours to run. Having an automated schedule inside the UI to auto-rotate every month or so would remove the chore of password rotation.

  8. API Request: Ability to upload/change icons for uploaded macOS pkgs.

    Currently in the API, only pkg uploads and changes are supported. However the ability to upload or change icons is unavailable.

    The reason this is important for us is we maintain over a dozen instances and the ability to programatically set icons for our items would drastically reduce the amount of work required for us to configure especially when we're deploying new items.

    If possible, we'd greatly appreciate the following added to the API:
    - Apps -> Create:
    - New optional argument: icon.
    - Sets icon during upload.
    - Apps -> Update:
    - New optional argument: icon.
    - Replaces current…

  9. 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…

  10. Add the Homebrew package to shared Apps

    Homebrew is now distributed as a pkg: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/releases/tag/4.1.13

    I'm distributing this but it would be nice if it was automatically updated for me :D

  11. add the ability to preview Welcome Screens as they are created

    Rather than have to iterate changes to Welcome Screens with real hardware, it would be nice to have a generated preview in-browser as part of Enrollments > {enrollment_name} > Welcome Screen.

  13. Devices API - Create - Extend method to include optional params for DEP device ID and device name

    When creating a device using the Devices API create method (https://api.simplemdm.com/#devices), there are only two parameters that can be passed to it, 'name' and 'group_id'.

    It would be very helpful, especially for devices that are expected to go through automated device enrolment, if we could pass a DEP device ID parameter to it so that a DEP device that is not yet enrolled will automatically be assigned to the nominated device group.
    If the DEP device id parameter is assigned, then the response probably shouldn't include an enrolment URL, as this param should indicate the device is expected…

  14. Prepopulate Job Name Field for New Jobs

    When creating a new job please auto populate the Job Name with something unique rather than leaving it blank. For example, something related to the current timescriptnameSerialNumber would be useful.

    The admin should be able to edit this prepopulated name if they so wish.

  15. Report on installed certificates

    I'd like to see SimpleMDM report on installed certificates for all device types. A common feature in other MDMs, CertificateListCommand (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/certificatelistcommand) has been around since iOS 4 and macOS 10.7 (!).

    While we have other tools to report on certificates (like osquery), it's useful to have MDM as a data source as well since oftentimes installed certificates originate via profiles. Knowing certificate health within the same product has benefits, and could allow for more advanced certificate management directly in SimpleMDM.

    Important fields...
    - Certificate name
    - CA/issued by
    - Expiration
    - Current validity status
    - If possible, whether…

  17. Reject enrollments for unsupported macOS versions when using SAML

    I am requesting SimpleMDM add guards for ADE where a macOS device is under 10.15. Copying directly from enrollment authentication config...

    "OSes prior to macOS 10.15 and iOS 13 using Automated Enrollment and all devices enrolled with Apple Configurator do not support SAML authentication and will not be authenticated. Optionally enroll them in a less secure initial device group."

    A helpful setting for sure since it means a device can be dropped into a group with no access to organization profiles, packages, or secrets. However, the device is still allowed to enroll and takes up a license. If that Mac…

  18. Add username field to `device.enrolled` webhook event

    The goal is to have a username field in the device.enrolled webhook event.

    This field would be populated using the the custom attribute defined in the "Username custom attribute" setting in the Automated Enrollment Authentication section.

    In our use case, a user will be prompted to auth using Okta during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). The username that is returned by Okta would be part of the webhook event payload. We use the username and device serial number to help with automating other internal processes to help determine which user is assigned to which device.

    This could be covered by https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46831099-control-webhook-data…

  19. Allow SimpleMDM to release devices in ABM/ASM

    Allow SimpleMDM to release devices without having to sign in to Apple Business Manager. This feature is enabled by default when you add an MDM server in ABM/ASM. You can remove this feature by deselecting the option for any new or existing MDM servers you created.

    But SimpleMDM has not implemented this feature yet. Would be nice to automate the decommissioning process of the devices.
