  1. Add file server to Mac Finder

    The option to add a file server in the "Add Provider" menu. The setting should appear in the Finder "Connect to Server..." menu/option.

    Examples:
    smb://10.2.3.4
    afp://10.9.8.7
    ftps://server.example.com

    (But I'm not sure if this can be managed by MDM)

  2. Mapping Scripts to Group(s)

    What we are concretely looking for is the possibility of mapping one or more individual Scripts to a Group, so when the enrollment process is running, it also executes the script(s) at the end. For example, a custom script that enables SSH on the Mac device.

  3. Specify package install order on joining an app assignment group

    I can see that this request has been marked completed:

    https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/44830375-specify-package-install-order-during-prestage

    and I've tested the package order stuff in our environment - and it works really well... but ONLY for pre-stage setups. And they don't always work.

    So - if an end user needs to manually enrol a device either via an enrolment link or a sudo profiles -N command to re-trigger an automated enrolment then all that awesome install logic disappears, and the packages get installed in what seems to be a random order. As Eric says in that feature request:

    "Some vendors supply their products as multiple packages…

  4. pause kiosk mode

    Pause Kiosk mode when needed for quick fixes then "resume kiosk mode" option to turn back on once problem solved that required Kiosk mode to be disabled. Timed resumption if no inputs made would be great, Example from ManageEngine MDM attached, very useful.

  5. Report on systems using munki that are having problems connecting with MSC.

    Recently had an issue were my Managed Software Center was giving me a communication error. I was able to resolve this with support (tkt 373463). Now I'm wondering if any other systems in my fleet are having the same problem.

    It would be helpful if the SimpleMDM agent could report these issues back to the web console so the issue can be resolved.

  6. Self-service VPP Apps

    Some of the apps we distribute from VPP do not need to be installed on all Macs, but should be available for a user to install on demand.

    Welding together Managed Software Center and VPP could be tricky, but maybe there could be application stubs in MSC that trigger API calls to SimpleMDM to install a VPP app on the device.

  7. Support Microsoft InTune Device Compliance

    It would be excellent for us if SimpleMDM were included in the list of InTune partners to add compliance state data to Azure Active Directory. This would allow us to establish conditional access policies in SimpleMDM that would be passed up to InTune and then Azure Active Directory, allowing us to ensure that devices used to log in are secure to our standards before access is granted.

  9. Display/Add "Script description" while selecting a script to execute "New Job"

    Here are my feature request as detailed in my screenshot below

    When you have many scripts the name of the script is not enough to describe the script. The best would be to add a description in addition to the script name

  10. Filter and Sort Devices columns within the Enrollment section

    When you go to the enrollment area of SimpleMDM and choose the enrollment method, in my case, the SimpleMDM Automated Enrollment using DEP. It will list ALL of the currently sync'd devices from ABM. This is a HUGE list and you cannot sort it or filter it whatsoever. I would like the option to filter by status, color, model, etc. as well as sort them all alphabetically.

    An even bigger improvement for this requested feature would be if you add checkboxes to each line item so you can bulk update them to assign to a specific group, etc. This makes…

  11. Custom Attribute value override listing

    Custom attributes can be set at the default, group, or device level.
    It would be really handy to have a way to see which group/device has a value that overrides the default value.

    I'd like to see a link style like Profiles to identify groups and devices that have custom value set for a specific attribute. The subsequent linked view would have each device and its value for that attribute.

  12. Communicate New Shared App Versions to Administrators

    I would like to be able to have one or more SimpleMDM administrators in a SimpleMDM tenant be notified via email, Slack integration, or other methodologies when SimpleMDM's team adds a new version of a Shared Munki application to the Catalog.

    This would facilitate clearer communication of the existence of new app versions in a scenario where we are not simply choosing to install the latest version of everything from the Shared app catalog.

  13. Limit API Scope to Group

    Would love the ability to limit a specific API key to only access specific group devices. I would like to develop something to wipe devices for some automation in some build farms, but would not want to give the users the ability to wipe any device from the key.

  14. allow download of native SimpleMDM Profiles

    Custom Configuration profiles are able to be downloaded from the portal but not profiles that were created in the SimpleMDM portal UI.

    As an admin it would be great to be able to download the raw profile from the server for a number of reasons:
    1) Documentation
    2) Version control
    3) Sanity of knowing what is being delivered to systems
    4) Save time to not have to find a machine with the profile scoped and parse the output of profiles, which isn't the raw profile in it's full either.

    Thanks,
    Eric

  15. Assignment of apps with filter based on tags and/or model

    We have different sets of apps for iPhone and iPads. Right now I need to duplicate the device groups manually to be able to define which apps are supposed to be installed on iPhones and which on iPads.
    Having tags at the apps or being able to restrict apps to certain types of models would be supercool. I used this a lot when using Jamf.

  16. Display the Raw Payload Key when hovering over Human Readable descriptions

    Apple's documentation for payload keys (e.g. Restrictions - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions) and the translated human readable description in the SimpleMDM Profile creation UI can cause confusion because what is described may not be obvious what key is actually being set.

    I suggest when hovering over the Simple UI description in the SimpleMDM portal the actual, raw payload Key be displayed so there is no confusion as to what preference that is setting.

    For instance, if I hover over "Allow restricting USB connections if locked" in the Restrictions Profile, it should show "allowUSBRestrictedMode".

  18. Run scripts based off certain parameters.

    Ex: If certain apps aren’t downloaded when the Mac is scanned every hour it runs the specified script or scripts.

    Basically add If statements to install apps and run scripts.

  19. Profiles API - add/set attributes for OS type, min and max OS version, and Mac architecture

    The current profiles API method to list all profiles doesn't return the scope data that is configured in the management console, and there are no means to set these attributes via API methods (per https://api.simplemdm.com/#profiles as at 2022-09-26).

    Please update the list all and retrieve one methods to return this scope data.

    Please also add a method to update existing profiles with values for this scope data.

    The scope attributes specifically are:
    - setting the OS type
    - setting the minimum macOS version the profile can be installed on
    - setting the maximum macOS version the profile can be installed…

  20. Allow Log Filter to Include API

    Currently when filtering the Logs, you can filter by the user making the change, but you cannot filter by API key. I would like the ability to quickly see the recent logs that the API has made.
    This may be classified as a bug, but was asked to submit here anyway.
