If you use Jamf Pro as your Mobile Device Management (MDM), you can view Jamf-provided information about iPad apps installed across your district directly in LearnPlatform. You can then use LearnPlatform to manage processes and approval around this category of applications. You must configure your Jamf instance and then add your Jamf credentials as a data source in LearnPlatform.
Notes:
- Adding Jamf Pro as a data source is not the same as the iOS Extension App for gathering specific usage data. Contact your Customer Success Manager for details to install the extension app.
- You can learn more about Jamf Pro.
- LearnPlatform currently only supports Jamf Pro + JamfCloud instances.
Configure Jamf Pro Instance
If your organization has already created a read-only user in Jamf Pro designed to provide credentials for Jamf API calls, then obtain those credentials and proceed to the next step. Otherwise, create one. The credentials required to connect Jamf Pro and LearnPlatform are as follow:
- Username: (ex. “readonlyuser”)
- Password: (ex. “*************”)
- Domain: (ex. “https://examplejamfdomain.jamfcloud.com”)
To create a read-only Jamf Pro user:
- Log in to Jamf Pro and navigate to Settings > System Settings > Jamf Pro User Accounts and Groups and create a New Account with Access Enabled and a Custom Privilege Set (next step).
- In the Privileges tab, set all Jamf Pro Server Objects to the “Read” permission level.
- Retain the credentials for this new read-only user to establish API links to Jamf Pro.
