  1. Add channel choice for VPN profiles

    It would be excellent to have the ability to push VPN profiles as both user and device channel (similar to custom configuration profiles).

    We added the "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile." option to the VPN profile (and most other profiles) a while back, but it seems we missed marking this request as complete.

  2. Low licence warning

    We're using pre-paid licences (rather than pay as you go with a credit card) and have hit the hard limit of seats a couple of times. Which breaks new enrolments in unpleasant ways.

    Could some kind of mechanism to auto-alert admins (or a web hook? Or and API we can call?) be added when the free seats drop below a user defined threshold so we can start the process of ordering more licences?

    The billing page now includes an option to be notified when available licenses is low. This option is available for accounts that have purchased licenses via manual invoicing.

  3. Update the SimpleMDM Name via the API

    As per your document https://docs.simplemdm.com/article/60-device-name-vs-simplemdm-name-whats-the-difference, there are two names within the console for a macOS device.

    Our DEP workflow will soon be able to update the 'Device Name' using the API (https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#update43) but it isn't currently possible to update the 'SimpleMDM Name' in the same way.

    Could the API be updated to either a)allow changing of the 'SimpleMDM Name' explicitly using its own call and/or b) allow the 'Device Name' call to also update the 'SimpleMDM Name' using a boolean flag to do so.

  4. Include device vs. user profile and attribute support for custom configuration profiles in API

    Include the status of the "For macOS devices, deploy as a device profile instead of a user profile" and "Enable attribute support" checkboxes for custom configuration profiles in the API. The ability to check the current status (i.e., whether these are true or false), set/change them, and set them when uploading custom config profiles through the API would be useful.

  5. Reveal sidebar categories in all contexts

    On the left side of the main view, I'd like to be able to see all the links for all contexts all the time. So often when I'm working on a new deployment, I find myself switching from Devices --> Groups to Apps --> Assignments to Configs --> Providers. If the sub-contexts for Config (eg Profiles Providers Certificates Attributes) were visible when I'm editing Devices --> Groups, it would save me a click and help me build a better mental map of where everything is. I sometimes find myself clicking around looking for which context has the right sub-context I…

  6. Unique DEP local admin password (per device)

    It would be great if the password of the local administrator account created during the DEP enrolment was unique to that device.

    The password could be shown in the device information together with the EFI password and FileVault recovery key.

  7. CalDAV and CardDAV support macOS

    Under iOS you can add a card account to the device. But under a macOS device yo can not. This would be a good addition.

  9. Assign devices to Group based on LDAP attribute at enrollment stage

    Since you support authenticating DEP enrollment via LDAP it would be nice to then place a device in the appropriate group based on some LDAP attribute of the user's account.

  10. Report on UAMDM status

    We can already see UAMDM status (https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/33088666-uamdm-status) - but as we roll out to more machines it would be useful to have a report or column view or other way to work out which machines are enrolled but have not been approved by the user.

    I appreciate we could write a lookup against the API to query this status - but that doesn't really scale when we hit 1000s of machines

    Thanks :)

  11. Allow wallpaper to be set per user/device as well as per group

    Hi,

    Could you possibly allow us to set the phone wallpaper per device, overriding the default wallpapers set in the group the device belongs to?

    We are looking at customising the wallpapers with ID related information (per user), but currently we'd have to setup a device group for EVERY device one-by-one.

  12. Reset Firmware

    An easy way to remove an EFI Firmware Password from a users device (Maybe a click button in the console where the password is displayed?) and also a way to re-apply it more easily after performing SMC (System Management Controller) and PRAM/NVRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory / Non-Volatile RAM) resets. (I contacted support beforehand. Even better would be a way to push an SMC reset to the machine, or PRAM, but I don't think this would be possible???

    At the moment, I am booting into recovery on a users device, turning the EFI PW off, restarting, performing a SMC reset…

    The “Actions” button under the device details screen now includes an option to “Clear firmware password”. This is also available via the API.

  13. Integration with Google LDAP for user enrolment

    Google now has LDAP service but this requires the LDAP client be able to use a certificate to connect to the server. this would need to be added to simple MDM capabilities.

    SAML-based authentication during the enrollment process is now supported by SimpleMDM. We support authenticating against Google with SAML over LDAP to achieve the same results.

  14. Scope API key

    I'd like multiple API keys able to be generated in the UI that have scoped permissions, for example, one API key restricted to only being able to hit the device endpoint, or one API key only being able to access Users.

    With this feature, it would reduce the threat of the API key being compromised as it's potential scope would be limited.

  15. Add firewall profile support

    It would be great to add a configuration profile to force enabling the firewall on a mac machine. I am very surprised that it isn't an option, there are other mdm solutions that offer this and it seems pretty basic for ensuring security.

  16. Stop WIFI Sharing

    As of iOS 11 you can now share your network settings. This poses a problem for devices that aren't company owned. Users can now share the password with other Apple devices that are close by. We would like to prevent MDM devices from sharing passwords with any other device.

  17. mdm eventlog

  18. Allow unlimited apps in folders of "Home Screen Layout" profiles

    As far as I know, iOS does not limit the number of app in one folder, but currently with SimpleMDM interface to manager home screen layout we are limited to 9 apps per folder.

  19. update software on an individual device via the API

    As discussed in Slack - there's currently an "update_apps" command in the API - but that only applies to device groups. I'd like to be able to update software on an individual device via the API.

    i.e. to push a test device to the latest and greatest, but leaving other devices on the standard version...

    There's a button to do this in the GUI, so I'm hoping adding that to the API shouldn't be too bad?
