Jamf Pro allows you to assign LDAP users to computers and mobile devices. Assigning a user to a device in Jamf Pro creates a user assignment that can be added as a target user to the scope of remote management tasks. For example, if you assign the user "samantha.johnson" to a device, you can then add that user to the scope of a configuration profile. All devices assigned to "samantha.johnson" install the profile. Assigning a user to a device also allows the user to receive email or SMS messages on the device to which they are assigned.

There are two ways to assign a user to a computer or mobile device:

  • Manually (Requires the device to be enrolled with Jamf Pro)

  • During user-initiated enrollment (LDAP users only)

In addition, Jamf Pro allows you to remove user assignments.

This section explains how to manually assign a user to a device, and how to remove a user assignment.
