Before parents can use the app, you must configure the settings for Jamf Parent in Jamf School.
Requirements
To configure Jamf Parent, you need supervised student devices with Jamf School Student installed. (For more information, see Jamf School Student Integration with Jamf School.)
If you want to generate parent accounts in Jamf School, you must create a parents user group and users. (For more information, see User Accounts.)
- In Jamf School, navigate to in the sidebar.
- Click the Jamf Parent payload.
- Select the Enable Jamf Parent checkbox and configure additional settings, including the time restrictions.
- Click Save.
- (Optional) To allow parents to scan a QR code on their child's device, click the Jamf School Student payload, and then select the Allow parent devices to use a QR code to pair with student devices checkbox.
If you enabled the QR code, parents can now use Jamf Parent to scan the QR code on student devices to add the device to the app.
Note: If you did not enable the QR code, you must create a parents user group in Jamf School, create parent accounts, and send login credentials to parents via email or mail.
After parents download the Jamf Parent app from the App Store or Google Play, they can log in using the username and password in the email they receive.
