Integration Capabilities

DataBee integrates with Jamf to get mobile device information. DataBee integrates by connecting to an API endpoint which retrieves a list of mobile device details. This integration has been tested against the Jamf Pro API’s.

Jamf Setup

In order to use the Jamf API’s, first create an API Role and client for authentication. The secrets and keys will need to be saved for use in the DataBee console.

Create an API Role:

To grant privileges to an API client in Jamf Pro, you must first create an API role that defines a privilege set. One or more of these roles can then be assigned to a client to grant their cumulative privileges. Perform the following steps to create the API Role:

• In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.

  

• In the Settings section, click API Roles and Clients

  

  • Click the API Roles tab at the top of the pane.

  • Click New.

  • Enter a display name for the API role.

  • In the role privileges field, add privilege Read Mobile Devices and Read Computers from the pop-up menu.

  • Click Save

  

Create an API Client:

You can create an API client in Jamf Pro to generate a client secret, which will be used by the Jamf Pro API to generate access tokens.

• In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.

• In the System section, click API roles and clients.

• Click the APl Clients tab at the top of the pane.

• Click New.

• Enter a name for the API client. Ex: DataBee API Client

• In the API Roles field, select the role that you created.

• Keep Access Token Lifetime as 3600.

• Click Save.

• Click Edit.

• Click Enable API Client to allow the client to be used to generate a client secret.

• Click Save.

These secrets/keys will be used in the DataBee console.

DataBee Setup

Use the saved secrets and keys obtained previously to configure DataBee. Detailed setup documentation can be found at https://docs.databee.buzz/docs/api-ingest
