Jamf Concepts

Jamf Extender

New

Browser extension that adds powerful inline features to Jamf Pro, Security Cloud, and Protect — smart group previews, payload comparison, risk analysis, and integrated security insights.

Device ManagementWeb

Smart Group Intelligence

  • Hover over any smart group name or device count to instantly preview its device membership
  • Expand "Where It's Used" drawers to see every policy, profile, restricted software rule, app, patch policy, eBook, app installer, webhook, and blueprint that targets, limits, or excludes a group
  • Spot groups with email notifications enabled or nested group criteria at a glance
  • Convert unused smart groups to advanced searches or delete them directly
  • Works for both computer and mobile device smart groups

Configuration Profiles (macOS + iOS)

  • Expand inline payload drawers showing every configured payload with human-friendly labels
  • Compare two or more profiles side-by-side to see shared vs. unique payloads and scope differences
  • Hover over Scope to see targeted groups with device counts, limitations, and exclusions
  • Hover over Completed/Pending/Failed to see deployment details with device names and serials

Policy Scope & Risk Analysis

  • Hover over any policy's Scope column to see full targeting details
  • A risk report bar flags potentially dangerous policies — Ongoing frequency with Recurring Check-in trigger, especially when scoped to All Computers

Application Usage & Unused App Search

  • Run aggregated application usage reports across any Advanced Computer Search with flexible time ranges
  • Find devices that have NOT used a specific application — export results as CSV for cleanup workflows
  • Save and reload search configurations per Jamf Pro instance

Mass Update Tool (MUT)

  • Upload a CSV to update Jamf Pro inventory records in bulk — computers, mobile devices, users, static groups, and prestage enrollments
  • Download CSV templates with optional pre-fill: "Pre-filled" fetches real serial numbers or usernames from your instance; "Blank" downloads an empty template
  • Preview records before submitting, track progress in real time, cancel mid-batch, and download a results log
  • Accessible from both the extension popup and the inline sidebar settings panel

Jamf Security Cloud Integration

  • View device risk, status, enrollment, and DNS activity inline on computer and mobile device detail pages
  • See per-software vulnerability breakdowns with individual CVEs linked to NVD
  • Color-coded app risk badges (High/Medium/Low) on the mobile device apps list
  • Threat category and threat subject details per device

Jamf Protect Integration

  • View connection status, plan name, and agent version inline on computer detail pages
  • Alert summary grid showing High/Medium/Low severity counts across 24h, 7d, and 30d time windows

Quick Setup

  • The extension creates read-only API credentials automatically using your active browser session for Jamf Pro, Security Cloud, and Protect
  • Portal Groups link your Jamf Pro instance to Security Cloud and Protect for cross-platform device lookups
  • Supports multiple instances and environments of each product

Quality of Life

  • Toggle a status pill to show extension health at a glance
  • Update notifications — the pill turns blue when a newer version is available, with instructions to update via Chrome Extensions (toggleable)
  • Nav bar shortcuts — bookmark any Jamf Pro page as a quick-access button in the top nav
  • Sidebar settings panel — access all settings without leaving the Jamf Pro interface
  • Animated shimmer underlines highlight interactive elements (toggleable)
  • Hide dashboard setup task cards to reduce clutter
  • Customize the nav bar color per Jamf Pro instance to tell environments apart

Privacy & Security

  • Credentials are stored locally in your browser for use in authenticating API calls to your Jamf applications
  • API clients are created with read-only permissions
  • Write operations (convert/delete/MUT) use your existing Jamf Pro browser session, not the API client

Works on all Jamf Pro *.jamfcloud.com instances. Requires a Jamf Pro login and one-time Quick Setup per instance.
