Hi all,
Lets give an update on this matter.
I have sorted a few things out.
- The VPP account is assigned to the site "None"
This is important to know because you have to set the site to the same when creating a Mac App Store App. This is the option to have the Assign VPP Content option available!!
- Set Scope to the devices / Leave Specific User set.
The point is that we want to assign the app to 'Devices' and not to users. We have created a smart group which contain the devices and assignment went as planned. When you set the users to all users it will assign the app to all users (and the computers, if selected) This part actually made sense to me :)
So to have a complete process:
1. Purchase the App via the VPP account (online)
2. Wait for the license(s) to be added in Casper
3. Create a 'Mac App Store App'
3a. Set the correct Site (use the same site as the VPP account site)
3b. Set Distribution Method to 'Install automatically'
3c. Set a Scope. Leave Target Users to 'Specific Users'
3d. Select 'Assign VPP Content'
3e. Save! :)
Above settings worked for me. with one side note. When I did create the Mac App Store App and added a computer I noticed that the app was not pushed instantly. But when I do a jamf recon on the client the app gets installed. So either my patience is very low or something in my process is not correct..
