Disclaimer:
Self Service classic will be deprecated in an upcoming release and is no longer recommended as the default end user application. Self Service+ is the new end user application that supports integrations with other Jamf platform applications, and can be configured in Jamf Pro following the instructions in this guide. For information on installation and deployment for Self Service+, see the Self Service+ for macOS Deployment Guide.
URL schemes provide a way to directly reference resources within Jamf Self Service for macOS. You can configure URL schemes to do the following actions in Self Service:
Install an item made available in Self Service
Direct users to the description of an item made available in Self Service
Direct users to specific Self Service categories
Direct users to the Notifications tab
In Self Service classic only:
Direct users to the History tab
Direct users to the Compliance Remediation page
Once configured, you can provide the URL schemes to your users (e.g., via email or a webpage). Clicking the URL scheme on a computer opens Self Service.
You can create as many URL schemes as needed using the templates in the table below:
URL Scheme Type | Description | URL Template |
|---|---|---|
Install item | Install an item by replacing "<content_type>" with the type of item (policy, app, configprofile, or ebook) and replace "<content_id>" with the item ID found in the item URL in Jamf Pro. Users may need to log in to Self Service in order to complete the installation. This is not available for patch policies. Note: The URL for an item is also available on the Self Service tab of that item. You can copy the item URL from Jamf Pro by clicking the Clipboard | jamfselfservice://content?entity=<content_type>&id=<content_id>&action=execute Examples:
