You can create and configure groups, roles, and permissions for additional users in the Jamf Protect macOS Security portal.

  1. In Jamf Protect, click Administrative > Account.
  2. Click the Users tab.
  3. Click Create User.
  4. In the Email field, enter the email address of the user.
  5. If you are integrating with your organization's identity provider (IdP), choose an existing identity provider from the Identity Provider menu. Otherwise, choose "None".
    Note:If your Jamf Protect tenant is not integrated with your organization's identity provider, only "None" or "Jamf ID" are available.
  6. (Optional) Select one or more groups from the Groups  menu.

    All roles associated with a group will be assigned.

    Note:

    Enabled permissions are prioritized when assigning multiple roles. When revoking permissions, ensure that the permissions are not being applied from multiple roles.

  7. (Optional) To directly assign a user permissions, choose one or more roles from the Roles menu.
  8. (Optional) Select the Send Email Notifications checkbox to send the user emails about Jamf Protect alerts.
    Best Practice:
    You can also create users who only receive email notifications from Jamf Protect and do not have read or write access to the macOS Security portal. To create an email-only user, select the Send Email Notifications checkbox and make sure "None" is chosen from the Identity Provider pop-up menu.
  9. Click Save.

The added user can now log in to the Jamf Protect tenant.
