The Context-Aware Access integration uses smart groups in Jamf Pro to determine device compliance. As part of the integration, you must create both an “applicable group” and a “compliance group”.
- macOS
- Applicable group —
This smart group should contain all the computers that need access to company resources, regardless of whether they are compliant or not.
- Compliance group —
This smart group should contain the computers that must meet specific criteria to be considered compliant. For example, the criteria could be meeting macOS version requirements, or the presence of a certain application.
