Integration with JAMF

xAssets includes a built-in integration with JAMF Pro to import managed Apple devices (Macs, iPhones, iPads) into xAssets as asset records. This page explains how to create the required JAMF API account and configure the xAssets credential pack.

What the Integration Provides

The JAMF integration pulls device information from your JAMF Pro instance into xAssets. Once imported, these devices appear alongside your other assets and can be included in queries, reports, and software licence reconciliations.

Prerequisites

  • A JAMF Pro cloud instance (e.g., https://yourdomain.jamfcloud.com)
  • JAMF Pro administrator access to create API accounts
  • Access to xAssets with permission to create credential packs
  • The xAssets Batch Service must be running (the integration runs as a batch job)

Setup

Step 1: Create an API Account in JAMF

  1. Browse to your JAMF Pro instance (e.g., https://yourdomain.jamfcloud.com)
  2. Navigate to All Settings (gear icon, top right)
  3. Click Jamf Pro User Accounts and Groups
  4. Click New to create a new account with the following settings:
Field Value
Username xAssetsAPI (or another descriptive name)
Privilege Set Custom
Access Status Enabled
Full Name xAssets API
Email Address An appropriate email address for the account
Password A strong password

JAMF user account creation

  1. On the privileges screen, grant the minimum read permissions needed for device data:

Step 2: Create a Credential Pack in xAssets

  1. Navigate to Discover > Prepare > Credentials
  2. Click Create Credentials
  3. Configure the credential pack as follows:
Field Value
Credential Type Named Credentials
Collection Server Application Server (not on a collection server)
Pack Name JamfAPI
Domain Name Your JAMF domain FQDN (e.g., yourdomain.jamfcloud.com) -- do not include https://
Username The JAMF API username from Step 1
Password The JAMF API password from Step 1
  1. Save the credential pack

Step 3: Run the Integration

  1. Navigate to Discover > Integrations > Get data from JAMF
  2. Select the JamfAPI credential pack
  3. The integration runs as a batch job, importing device records into xAssets

Scheduling

To keep your JAMF device inventory current, schedule the integration to run automatically:

  1. Navigate to Admin > Transformations
  2. Find the JAMF integration transformation
  3. Open the Schedule tab and configure the desired frequency (e.g., daily)

Tip: If the integration does not return expected devices, verify that the JAMF API account has sufficient read permissions. The minimum required is read access to Computer, Mobile Device, and/or User objects depending on what you want to import.
