Assign to current user Self Service

[Andy_McCaskill]

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out a way to allow the users to assign the current device to them.

The idea is we would hand the devices to a large amount of people. Have them log into Self Service with their Active Directory accounts, and then click a button to then assign that device to them using those credentials that logged into Self Service.

Anyone have a idea how to get this done?

Back when I was playing around with customizing QuickAdd packages for provisioning machines I made up a script that uses cocoaDialog to prompt the person running the QuickAdd package for a username to assign the machine to.

Maybe you could have the script run in a policy that someone runs from within Self Service?

(Here's more on how I used it with a QuickAdd package:

As long as you're having the users sign into Self Service with their AD accounts, then just putting the following in a script would accomplish the task:

#!/bin/bash
jamf recon -endUsername "${3}"

@dwandro92 Simple, thanks a bunch! Tested it out and works like a charm.

Is there a way to do this for mobile devices?
