Scope

Scope gives you granular control over which computers, mobile devices, and users receive remote management tasks. For example, you can use scope to ensure that a policy to install desktop publishing software only runs on computers in the Design department, or that a book is only distributed to students in a particular class. Scope can be based on the following items:

• Individual computers, mobile devices, or users

• Computer, mobile device, or user groups

• Departments

• Buildings

• Directory service or local users

• Directory service user groups

  Note:

  Jamf Pro may experience performance issues if too many directory service groups are included in the scope of an object. If you need to use multiple directory service criteria within a scope, consider creating a smart group with those criteria, and then scope to that smart group instead.

• Network segments

• Classes

• iBeacon regions

The items available vary depending on the remote management task you are configuring the scope for. For example, only book scope can be based on classes.
