Welcome to JumpCloud’s April Newsletter.
Here’s everything you need to know this month about deploying software — and managing identities + devices — from our cloud directory platform.
Welcome to Your JumpCloud Home
Your Admin Portal has a new homepage that gives you a customizable dashboard to start your day. Choose the widgets that appear in your homepage, monitor important metrics like user lockouts, and get one-click navigation to key tools in your directory platform to complete tasks and troubleshoot problems at lightning speed.
Install Mac Software Fast
Get software onto your users’ Mac devices faster — and in bulk. With JumpCloud’s Apple MDM, you can now silently install apps using Apple VPP on managed devices to reduce time-to-productivity for anything in the App Store.
Customize Your Windows Software Install
You have the power to control what software is on your users’ Windows devices and where it comes from. Create custom packages, host your own repository, and deploy those packages from the Admin Portal to devices anywhere.
Take Control of Your Devices
Directory-integrated device management is powerful: binding devices with your user’s central identities increases security and reduces friction at the same time. This free online course shows how to extend core user identities to devices and lock them down with security controls, all from your core IT platform.
