Required Jamf Pro Account Permissions

Important:The Jamf Pro account requires full admin access and Administrator privileges in Jamf Pro Account settings. If not provided, then the Jamf Pro integration with App Portal results in a 401 unauthorized error.

In order for App Portal to be successfully integrated with Jamf Pro, your Jamf Pro account needs to have a specific set of minimum permissions. To define permissions on your Jamf Pro account, perform the following steps:

Note:In some versions of Jamf Pro, the Access Status field may be named Access Level. If so, set Access Level to Full Access.

Important:If your Jamf Pro system account does not have Administrator privileges, then App Portal will be unable to integrate with Jamf Pro.
