Requirements

To automatically register users with volume purchasing, you need a VPP account set up in Jamf Pro. For more information, see the Integrating with Apple's Volume Purchasing section of the Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide.

Enabling Automatic Registration for the VPP Account

The first step to automatically register users with volume purchasing is to enable automatic registration for the VPP account. This allows you to create an invitation with automatic volume purchasing registration options.

1. Log in to Jamf Pro.

2. In the top-right corner of the page, click Settings .

3. Click Global Management.

4. Click VPP Accounts .

5. Click the VPP account you want to enable automatic registration for.

6. Select Automatically register with VPP if users have Managed Apple IDs.

7. Click Save.

Creating a VPP Invitation

After you enable automatic volume purchasing registration, you need to create a VPP invitation that includes the users in the scope and configure the invitation to automatically register the users.

1. Log in to Jamf Pro.

2. Click Users at the top of the page.

3. Click VPP Invitations.

4. Click New .

5. Use the General pane to configure basic settings for the invitation.
   Note: The invitation is automatically added to the site that the VPP account belongs to.

6. Do one of the following:

   • To automatically register only the users in the scope of the invitation that have Managed Apple IDs, select the "Automatically register only users with Managed Apple IDs and skip invitation" option from the Distribution Method pop-up menu.
     Users that have Managed Apple IDs are automatically registered with volume purchasing and do not receive an invitation or get prompted to register. Users that do not have Managed Apple IDs do not receive an invitation and are not registered.

   • To automatically register users in the scope of the invitation that have Managed Apple IDs and send an invitation to the users that do not have Managed Apple IDs, select the Automatically register with VPP if users have Managed Apple IDs checkbox.
     Users that have Managed Apple IDs are automatically registered with volume purchasing and do not receive an invitation or get prompted to register. Users that do not have Managed Apple IDs receive the invitation via the method selected from the Distribution Method pop-up menu.
     Note: This checkbox is only displayed if the Automatically register with VPP if users have Managed Apple IDs option is enabled for the VPP account.

7. Click the Scope tab and configure the scope of the invitation.
   Note: If the site of the VPP account is changed at any point, users that do not belong to that VPP account's site are removed from the scope of the invitation.

8. Click Save.
