  2. Add option to delete after wipe

    (Or a similar control to ensure devices are never unenrolled before the wipe command is received.)

    If you send a wipe command to a device that is currently offline, and then remove that device from SimpleMDM before it comes back online, the device will only be unenrolled from SimpleMDM and not wiped.

  3. Add to the "Enable Remote Desktop" some actual setting of privs

    After banging my head for a year or two on new machines being completely unreachable or at best screen-sharing-only, I think it's because while you can turn ARD ON via MDM, all users by default have no privileges.

    So I now have a kickstart script to do this.

    It seems to me this should be a fundamental part of the "enable" action. For the device action, it could maybe look like the attached. For an enrollment .. I'm not sure, can you execute scripts at enrol time? If not maybe automatically afterwards?

    Some of the necessary kickstart commands are here…

  4. Admin Console Banner

    Allow customization of the banner at the top of the admin pane after login. Currently you have a banner that states:

    "You are currently viewing the new Ul for the Devices page. If you would like to temporarily switch back to the old view, click here."

    We have a specific requirement to add a banner to any system with user-added content about what type of data is allowed to be uploaded. It would be awesome to be able to customize the banner to add a message to users of the system.

  5. Notification for annual renewal

    Email notication a few weeks prior to renewal, stating how devices we have, the cost of the renewal, what credit last 4 it will charge and when the charge will happen...this would allow us to audit the device list, update an old credit card and know that the renewal is happening.

  7. Report on profile status - pending, installed, failed

    SimpleMDM currently only surfaces profile assignment in the main profiles UI. To see the status of a specific profile on a device an admin must navigate to a device record. What information isn't readily available is the status of a profile. Even if it's assigned to 100 devices, there's no way to tell how many of those devices the profile successfully installed.

    Specifically asking...
    - Add three columns to the view at /profiles in the UI - installed, pending, failed.
    - In the profiles and custom profiles API endpoints include data about these status as well.

    The major driver behind…

  8. Improve API docs with examples for each endpoint

    SimpleMDM's API documentation (https://api.simplemdm.com/) is inconsistent in what information is included per endpoint. For example, https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-configuration-profiles shows the response body for a GET call, but the POST (create) section has no usage information. It's up to the user to intuit from other endpoints the format in which those arguments should be.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-attributes shows how to set a value for a device, but not create a new custom attribute globally.

    We (the customer) end up making assumptions about API formats which are usually true, but only able to confirm through guessing. It would help to ensure the official docs…

  9. 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!

  10. 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)

  12. 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).

  13. New API endpoints request

    Hello,

    When writing terraform provider we discovered few topics we would like to ask to improve on the API side.

    Custom Profiles:
    Please add endpoint "Retrieve one" GET https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/custom_configuration_profiles/{profile_id} with json answer

    Please add "enable declarative management" and "Auto renew SCEP issued certificates" as attributes for create/update custom profile

    Please add "enable declarative management" to json answer.

    Device Groups:
    Please add create, update and delete endpoints.

    Thank you, David

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  19. Sort the Scripts -> Jobs -> History tab by newest to oldest by default

    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.

  20. 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.
