Is it possible to scope Self Service Plug-ins to specific groups? For example, I want to have a link to "QuickStart" guides for applications that are installed on specific Macs. Then scope a smart group with those apps installed, so those who do not have these apps installed won't see the link to the "QuickStart" guides

Self service plugins can't be scoped AFAIK. There is a feature request that is currently under review here https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=392

There is a manual way to accomplish what you want. Self Service plugins that the JSS handles get stored on the client as plist files locally at /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Self Service/Managed Plug-ins/



If you make a folder at /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Self Service/Plug-ins/, and then copy a working plist from the other folder and modify it to suit your needs, you can package it up and then scope it as a policy based install manually since valid plists at that location will show up in Self Service as well.

Or, you can take a look at the more automated/scripted process I put together back in January for this, which you can find on this thread - https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=12987



Long story short, you can quickly create Self Service URL plug-ins directly on your Mac with a script, test them in Self Service.app, then package them up for deployment (or use them with a companion Self Service installer script, also mentioned on that thread), rather than needing to create them on the JSS, or edit them by hand.
