    • Navigate to your Jamf Pro dashboard.
  2. Create API Role:
    • Go to Settings > System Settings > API Roles & clients.
    • Create a new API Role with the following privileges:
      • Read Computers
      • Read User
      • Read Mobile Devices
  3. Create API Client
    1. Go to Settings > System Settings > API Roles & Clients
      1. Create a new API Client that uses the role you created in the previous step
      2. Click Save
      3. Click on Generate Client Secret
  4. Save the Client ID and Client Secret
    1. We will use these credentials to set up the JAMF integration

Configure Asset Management for Jira

To facilitate integration, install an appropriate asset management app in Jira:

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations
    • Click on Connect next to JAMF
  2. Connect Jamf to Jira
    • Enter Jamf API Details:
      • Input the Jamf Pro URL (e.g., https://your-jamf-instance.jamfcloud.com ).
      • Enter the API client ID and client secret that you saved in the previous step.
      • Map Jamf Assets to AMFJ Fields
