Users imported to Jamf Pro from Apple School Manager

You can import users to Jamf Pro from Apple School Manager. This allows you to automatically create new users in Jamf Pro from the users in Apple School Manager or append information to existing users in Jamf Pro.

When you import users from Apple School Manager, the following fields are populated in the Roster category of the user's inventory information:

• Last Sync

• Status

• User Number

• Full name from Roster

• First Name

• Middle Name

• Last Name

• Managed Apple Account

• Grade

• Password Policy

An assistant in Jamf Pro guides you through the process of importing all users or a subset of users from Apple School Manager. If you choose to import a subset of users, you need to choose the criteria and values for the users you want to import. For example, you could import the students from an "Addition & Subtraction" course or an "Algebra" course only.

You can select from the following options when importing users from Apple School Manager:

• Match to an existing user in Jamf Pro —

  Imported users are matched to existing users in Jamf Pro based on the criteria selected when integrating Jamf Pro with Apple School Manager. Jamf Pro displays potential existing users that match the specified criteria. When you select an existing user in Jamf Pro to match the imported user to, information is populated in the Roster category of the user's inventory information. If this information existed prior to matching the imported user with the existing user, the information is updated.

• Create a new user in Jamf Pro —

  If you choose to create a new user, the imported user is automatically added to Jamf Pro in the Users tab and inventory information is entered in the Roster category of the user's inventory information.

After users are imported, if an Apple School Manager Sync Time is configured for the Apple School Manager instance, user information is updated automatically based on the scheduled frequency and time.
