Issue in Jamf Pro where users in multiple groups can’t save Profiles – 10 min
Jamf Support has confirmed an issue where Users with access to more than 1 Jamf Site can not save macOS configuration profiles including when creating new ones. This is a known issue which is on track to be fixed in 10.22 or 10.23. The work around is to make sure you id is only in 1 group. For the few folks who are packagers this means removing your id from the packaging group unless you are actually creating packages. Discussion
Testing Duo with Jamf Pro – 10 min
We are beginning to test Duo MFA with Jamf Pro to increase security. If successful, we will vote on a date to make MFA required.
Discussion
TechShort: Changing UUID on Profiles – 20 min
We are beginning to make a few template configuration profiles available to help with deployments so you can just download and add to your Jamf Site. However each profile in Jamf Pro must have a globally unique identifier in the form of a UUID. Everette will demo how to create a new UUID in Terminal.app and replace in a profile with ProfileCreator.app.
