The Jamf Pro 10.5 beta adds new features for managing Apple TV devices, includes a new script editor, and enhances various workflows.
IT admins managing Apple TV devices will be able to easily utilize the AirPlay permissions feature of Jamf Pro to create iOS Remote App pairings en masse with AirPlay permissions. This enables users to fully control Apple TV and the connected display with just an iOS device. This is great for organizations that deploy Apple TVs to shared rooms and is only possible when both devices are managed by Jamf Pro.
The new script editor adds syntax highlighting for popular languages, themes to customize the look and feel, plus new keyboard shortcut commands. This will help you write and edit scripts more effectively. The same styling and keyboard shortcuts can also be used in logs files and extension attributes.
Finally, workflow enhancements include the ability to enable or disable Bluetooth via a management command, the ability to suppress proximity setup via the Healthcare Listener, and enhancements to the user-initiated enrollment process.
