Is there a way to get all of our LDAP users into the Jamf Users section? We have a Jamf Infrastructure Manager with the LDAP proxy set up, and it can search for users and find them from the test, but I can't see anyplace to import the users that we will be assigning devices and software to.

The users tab is more or less "deprecated" and unnecessary. The only feature I have seen that requires this is the app requests feature in self service.

With your LDAP hook up you can still assign devices to the user in the user information tab on the device. It will pull relevant information into Jamf.

    I realize this post it old but wanted to mention.... On shared iPad's you have to assign Web Clips to Users. It won't work assigning the web clip to the device. Unless someone knows another way?

    We have just run into this. Rolling out Shared iPads and ran into the WebClips issue, support got us on the right track to assign to users, but it seems the only way for that to work is to manually add everyone in Jamf which when we already have an LDAP server available seems like a lot of work for a WebClip.

     

    Did you find another way in the end @Samplerr?

    I'm curious about this too.  I was hoping to be able to import all of my LDAP users as well.  *watching*

    https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-school-manager/sync-users-from-azure-ad-axm3ec7b95ad/web is what I used to sync my users from azure ad to apple school manager.  

    Then I import users from apple school manager to jamf pro. https://docs.jamf.com/10.30.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/Importing_Users_to_Jamf_Pro_from_Apple_School_Manager.html
