JSS 9.9 change- Adding teachers in Casper Focus

Background
Between JSS versions 9.82 and 9.9 there was a major change to the classes section in the JSS. This change affected the way we would typically add non-LDAP users as teachers. In JSS version 9.82 or earlier we could add the teachers by typing the username into a text box. Now in JSS version 9.9 or later we add teachers by selecting a checkbox next to their name.

Workflow Change
If we have non-LDAP users we would like to add as teachers we will have to create a user in both of the following sections of the JSS with matching usernames:

Section 1) The Users tab located at the top of the screen

Section 2) Settings > System Settings > JSS User Accounts & Groups

Once we create a user in both of the above sections we will see them show up as a selectable option in the teacher's section under Mobile Devices > Classrooms. It's worth noting that the user record in the JSS User Accounts & Groups section is what applies the password for teachers trying to log into the Casper Focus iOS app. This workflow change was documented as a product issue with the reference number PI-002628.

Speak to your JAMF Buddy(TM) regarding MUT automation of user generation. At the time of writing, done easily by mapping a User in the MUT to a single serial. Later, remove remaining user from iPad association in the JSS. Unfortunately, JSS User generation is still a manual process.
