Hi, 

 

We have many ipads that get passed around without our knowledge. Is there any way to have the ipad prompt maybe once a week asking for the current user using this device? Then have that info populate the username field in Jamf Mobile Devices? This would help a great deal. All ideas welcome 🙂

    Nothing built in comes to mind.  Couple options I'll through out there:

    • A webclip and server to host a form asking for the username should do the trick.  User enters their name and submits the form, webserver digests the info and updates the device record via the API.
    • Develop/deploy a custom app, something like: https://github.com/BIG-RAT/userAssign
