You can create user groups in Jamf School to organize users that share similar attributes. You can then use these groups to perform searches.

  1. In Jamf School, navigate to Users > Groups in the sidebar.
  2. Click + Add Group.
  3. Enter a name for the group in the Group Name field.
  4. (Optional) Enter a description for the group in the Description field.
  5. Click Add.
  6. (Optional) To edit group details, do the following:
    1. Click Group details in the list on the left side of the pane.
    2. Click Edit.
    3. To create a user group for teachers, choose "Allow" from the Jamf School Teacher pop-up menu. This allows users in the group to use the Jamf Teacher app.
    4. To create a user group for students, choose "Deny" from the Jamf School Teacher and Jamf Parent pop-up menus. This prevents users in the group from using the Jamf Teacher and Jamf Parent apps.
    5. To create a user group for parents, choose "Allow" from the Jamf Parent pop-up menu. This allows users in the group to use the Jamf Parent app.
      Note:

      If you create a user group for teachers and students, you must select the associated permission from the Jamf School Teacher pop-up menu for students to appear in the Jamf Teacher app. If you do not see any students appear in the Jamf Teacher app, ensure that "Allow" is selected in the Jamf School Teacher pop-up menu for your teacher user group.

  7. To add users to the group, do the following:
    1. Click Members in the list on the left side of the pane.
    2. Click + Add User.
    3. Select the users to add to the group.
    4. Click Add.
