  1. 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…

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  6. Add support for ZIP and XIP as well as DMG

    A fair number of apps are distributed as ZIPs (and one prominent app uses XIPs) instead of DMGs. It would be convenient to be able to upload these as is, instead of having to locally convert them to DMGs first $(unzip App.zip && hdiutil create -format ULMO -o App.dmg -srcfolder App.app)

  7. Scope profiles to build version

    With the advent of RSRs, the OS version is no longer a definitive identifier of what OS rev a system is on. The OS build numbers would be a more consistent way to identify target OSes.

    Historically, macOS minor builds have followed an pattern of
    [Major OS number][A...Z minor build][Patch Number] moniker.

    Now with RSRs, the build numbers are a bit more complicated but the values still go up and each build number is larger than the last based on the pattern above.

    13.3.1 22E261
    13.3.1 RSR 22E772610a
    13.4.0 22F66
    13.4.1 22F82
    13.4.1 RSR 22F770820b

    I propose that Build numbers…

  11. New notification options

    I'd love for a lot more notification options. Given SimpleMDM's position on the device already, it hopefully shouldn't be too heavy of a lift.

    • New User added
    • User priv changes
    • OS update skipped
    • Device visible (after being offline)

    This is off the top of my head, but I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more given some time.

  13. Control Webhook data

    Webhooks are very limited in what they provide without triggering another API call to pull in more information. The ability to control the payload within the webhook endpoint creation screen would be a huge help in interfacing with other programs. The ability to add static data to the payload (like we can already do to the header) or be able to add dynamic data through attribute support.

  15. Add a Comments Field to Login/Background Item Management Profile

    Some of the Rule Type values (Team IDs, for example) for the Login and Background Item Management are a bit abstract, and it would be useful to have a comment/description field added to allow an administrator to describe in plain language what a the Rule Type value applies to.

  16. Nested Custom Attributes

    Description: It would be extremely useful to have the ability to nest custom attributes in SimpleMDM. This feature would allow administrators to create custom attributes that reference or depend on other custom attributes, enabling dynamic and interconnected data management.

    Use Case: For instance, suppose an organization has a custom attribute called "munkimanifestdepartement" that is a dropdown value in the DEP (Device Enrollment Program) welcome screen. The organization also wants to create another custom attribute called "munkimanifest" that includes the department value selected in "munkimanifestdepartement" along with additional static text. By nesting the custom attribute "munki

  17. Regex Rules for Custom Attribute Validation

    Description: It would be highly beneficial to have the ability to use regular expressions (regex) to validate user-defined custom attributes in SimpleMDM. This feature would allow administrators to set specific rules and patterns that user inputs must adhere to, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.

    Use Case: For example, suppose an organization has a custom attribute for employee IDs. By implementing regex rules, the administrator can define that the employee ID must follow a specific format, such as a combination of letters and numbers. Any user input that does not match the defined regex pattern would be flagged as invalid, preventing…

  18. Show all apps on all devices, enriched with metadata & approval-management

    Currently I can see a list of all installed apps for one device at a time. I would love to have an overview of ALL the apps across ALL managed devices.
    My use case: We allow users to install apps themselves, but they need to be approved. I would like to see all apps, filter out the system apps (like "AirDrop"), and then see which apps are only on a single/a few devices.

    Additionally:
    * I want to see if an app is notarized/from the App Store, since any malware app can just call itself "Calendar.app".
    * I want…

  20. More granularity on the SimpleMDM menu bar icon...

    So, we've just rolled out Nudge and have used the SimpleMDM agent to do so. And now I'm being grumbled at about the Managed Software Centre Icon taking up valuable menu bar space...

    I appreciate I can kill it via the UI - but it's a bit all or nothing, and when we start adding apps to self-service, the menu bar app seems as good a place as any to direct our end users.

    So - can we set icon visibility per assignment group?

    I think what I'm basically saying is if all apps are managed, and there's no self-service…
