Hello Everyone, 

I am new to Jamf, I like to know how I am able to update the User and Location (FullName and Username) from the mobile device. I know that I can do it from the macOS using the terminal command Jamf recon but cannot pinpoint the exact solution for mobile devices.

Thank you in advance

Since mobile devices do not have the Jamf binary, like macOS devices do, there is no easy way. Your best bet is to update them in Jamf or use MUT 

(In theory, you could write a Swift App that does an API call from the iOS device. But that may be more work than is worth it.)

You might want to look at some form of Active Directory integration via LDAP, once the device is assigned to a users AD credentials, the fields you mention will stay up to date.

...Providing you use AD that is!
