Managing Jamf Pro Connections

Jamf Pro is a management solution for Apple devices, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. It provides tools for IT administrators to deploy, manage, and secure Apple devices within an organization. The Jamf Pro Connector, provided by Flexera, collects inventory data from Jamf Pro and seamlessly imports it into IT Visibility once a day. The data collected gives you comprehensive visibility into managed Apple devices, user data, and managed and unmanaged applications installed on the devices.

Important:Integrating Jamf Pro connections requires the Jamf Pro API’s Read Computers privilege. For instructions on the creation of Jamf Pro API clients and roles, including the generation of a client secret, see the Jamf Pro documentation topic API Roles and Clients.
