Deploying an App to All Devices in a Blueprint
When you deploy an app to devices in a Blueprint, you can choose one of three deployment methods:
- Automatically install an app on devices
- Make an app available on devices by installing Jamf Self Service for macOS
- Use a combination of both deployment methods
Self Service allows users to browse and choose which Mac App Store apps and custom apps they install on their computer. You can also add a description for custom apps to display in Self Service.
You must be on the Jamf Fundamentals plan.
Targeted devices must be computers with macOS 10.13 or later.
Apps must be volume purchased or custom ("third-party" or "in-house") apps.
Apps with the Install Automatically checkbox selected are deployed to any devices already in this Blueprint and to any devices added to this Blueprint in the future.
Apps with the Display in Self Service checkbox selected are available in Self Service, and the Self Service app is deployed to any devices in this Blueprint that match the Self Service requirements.
If both the Install Automatically and Display in Self Service checkboxes are selected, the apps are both deployed directly to the devices and available in Self Service.
