After adding apps and packages to Jamf School, you can distribute content to devices by scoping it to device groups.

  1. In Jamf School, navigate to Apps > Inventory in the sidebar.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to the apps and packages you want to distribute.
  3. Click Edit Scope.
  4. Click one or more device groups you want to distribute the apps or packages to.
  5. If you don't want to add a device group to the current scope, choose "Replace existing scope" from the pop-up menu.
  6. Choose one of the following installation methods from the Install Type pop-up menu:
    • To install the app or package on devices automatically, choose "Change to automatic installation for all groups".

    • To allow users to install the app or package themselves, choose "Change to on-demand installation for all groups".

  7. Specify whether to assign licenses to devices or to users by choosing an assignment method from the Volume Assignment Method pop-up menu.
    Note:

    Assigning licenses to users requires a content token that is configured for user-based app assignments. For information on configuring a content token for user-based assignments, see Adding a Content Token to Jamf School.

  8. Click Save.

The app or package is available on the devices the next time they check in with Jamf School.
