Discussion

3) Casper Self Service.app changes  – 5 min.

The behavior of the Casper Self Service.app has changed based on request by NCSU and UNC System Site admins.  Login is no longer required to see self service policies scoped to devices.  For policies restricted to users or directory groups a login link on the upper right of the Self Service.app window is required (this gives the same view as the previous behavior).  The change is not destructive, allows the majority of clients faster service and still allows for user/group restriction.
