I’m not too familiar with Securly (was just given access to Securly Filter for testing), but during the pandemic (before my time) Securly was implemented when students took iPads home. This was when our school district had Jamf Pro.
Pretty much all of our iPads (less than 70~ stragglers still in Pro) are in Jamf School now. I replicated what we had in Jamf Pro as a configuration profile. It was simple enough from Securly’s documentation/old Jamf Pro configuration profile.
But when I test it, and I see the activity, I only see ‘email’ (in Securly) as the user and not the actual email of the user. I’ve tested this by having my email account, a random student email account, and no active owner as the owner on the iPad (by adding/removing in Jamf School iPad inventory). All just say email.
I tried this with the serial number as the variable but that shows up with random letters in the user field. I was hoping at least the serial number would actually show up correctly.
Mostly, K-1 use iPads, and its already hard to get teachers to assign iPads to students to their classroom set. I am guessing if we got this working the way I think it should work, students that aren’t assigned to iPads won’t show who’s actually using it.
I assume Securly SmartPAC documentation might(?) work better for Macs since we have Jamf Connect for students to use? I will try this if I can get iPads to work.
We are a Google district. The only other thing I wanted to do was try out Jamf Safe Internet if I can’t get Securly to work.
Curious to hear anyone else’s experience!
Thanks!
