Session Catalog

Custom configuration profiles enable administrators to manage most any application or Mac setting that isn’t included in Jamf Pro’s default set of payloads. They can manage preferences for the macOS time zone, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Zoom and hundreds of other applications that support plist preferences.

Jamf manifests make creating these custom configuration profiles easier. They generate simple forms for a Jamf Pro admin to fill-in-the-blank, choose true or false or choose from a list of options.

More importantly, community members can share their Jamf manifests just like they would share shell scripts. That means other administrators can improve on the work from the community.

We'll cover:

- Where to find Jamf Pro manifests and how to use them
- JSON Schema
- How to create manifests
- How to create property types within a manifest
- Tools for creating and validating manifests

This session is not geared toward the average administrator. Its intended audience is those community members who appreciate creating code for their own internal use as well as sharing with others.
