You can safelist apps from being restricted by the Jamf Teacher app. This allows you to ensure that apps required by your organization (e.g., a content filtering app) are not inadvertently restricted on student devices by the Teacher app. To safelist an app, do the following:

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.
  2. In the Jamf Apps section, click Jamf Teacher .
  3. Click Edit .
  4. Click the Safelisted Apps tab and then click Edit.
  5. Click Add and enter the name of the app you want to safelist. Then select it from the pop-up search results.
    The Bundle ID is entered automatically.
  6. Click Save .
Devices with the Teacher app in your environment are unable to restrict these apps on student devices.
Note:

The Teacher app can always restrict native apps (e.g., Safari or Mail) and apps that fall under a disallowed genre (e.g., Entertainment).
