Jamf Parent is a free app that allows parents to manage their children's school-issued devices by allowing and restricting apps and device functionality.
Integrating Jamf Parent with Jamf Pro allows administrators to limit the management capabilities of Jamf Parent by doing the following:
Specify the time periods when parents can manage their children's devices with Jamf Parent in Jamf Pro. These restrictions can be specified when integrating Jamf Parent with Jamf Pro.
Set restrictions using mobile device configuration profiles created in Jamf Pro.
Remove restrictions set by Jamf Parent and Jamf Parent management capabilities from student devices by sending a remote command to a single device or sending to multiple devices using a mass action.
Prevent students from managing other students' school-issued devices with Jamf Parent by distributing a configuration profile that restricts the Jamf Parent app on student devices. For information about enforcing restrictions on devices, see the Restricting Apps for Mobile Devices in the Jamf Pro Documentation.
To integrate the Jamf Parent app with Jamf Pro, you must enable the app and configure its settings in Jamf Pro. Then parents can install the Jamf Parent app from the App Store or Google Play on their iOS and Android devices. If parents have an Apple Watch paired with their iPhone, the Jamf Parent app installs on their Apple Watch as well.
Parents can add their children's devices to Jamf Parent by scanning the QR code in Jamf Self Service for iOS on their child's device.
