Basic Configuration

After enabling the plugin, a new menu option named "Jamf plugin" will be visible in the Tools menu. This will open a menu page with multiple links to various pages related to the plugin. Click on "Configure plugin" to open the plugin configuration options (This is the same as going to Setup > General, and opening the JAMF plugin tab).

Server Settings

JSS Server

This is the URL to your Jamf Pro server (self-hosted or Jamf Cloud).

JSS User

The username of the account the plugin will use for all communications with the server. The rights needed on the account will vary based on what features you enable in the plugin.

JSS Password

The password of the JSS account.

Import Settings

Under this section exists several settings that determine how new assets are handled when they are imported. Specifically, what asset type certain devices should be treated as and what their type field should be.

Sync Settings

Sync Internal

How often each asset should be synced. This does not affect how often the sync automatic action is run. The automatic action should run much more often than this. Then, each device is evaluated to see if the last sync date is older than the sync interval. If it is, then it is re-synced.

Sync General

Toggle syncing general information such as model, name, etc.

Sync OS

Toggle syncing information about the OS.

Sync Software

Toggle syncing installed application information.

Sync Financial

Toggle syncing purchase information.

Sync User

Toggle syncing user information. If enabled, the plugin will try to automatically assign a user to the device in GLPI if an account exists with the same username as assigned in Jamf.

Auto Import

Toggle if new devices are imported as soon as they are discovered. It is recommended that you leave this option disabled until you manually merge or import your existing devices first to avoid duplicates.

JSS Account Link

For some actions, a GLPI user must be linked with a JSS account. This is to limit their access to certain features to match what they would have access to in Jamf. Since all actions are done with the account specified in the plugin configuration, it is important that technicians cannot access anything they don't usually have access to.

To link a user, open the user in GLPI and go to the "JSS Account Link" tab. The dropdown on this page will list all available JSS accounts. Select the proper account and then press save.
