Connect Jamf Pro

Step-by-step guide to connecting Jamf Pro to Thalian for Apple device management intelligence.

Prerequisites

  • Jamf Pro instance with API access enabled
  • Jamf Pro admin account or an API-only account with read permissions

Create API Credentials in Jamf Pro

  1. Sign in to your Jamf Pro instance
  2. Go to Settings → System → API Roles and Clients
  3. Create a new API Role with read-only permissions for computers, mobile devices, and configuration profiles
  4. Create a new API Client and assign the role you just created
  5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

Connect in Thalian

  1. Go to Integrations → Browse
  2. Find Jamf Pro and click Connect
  3. Enter your Jamf Pro URL (e.g., https://yourcompany.jamfcloud.com)
  4. Paste your Client ID and Client Secret
  5. Click Save — Thalian validates the credentials and begins the first sync

What Thalian Syncs

  • Mac/iOS devices — hardware inventory, OS versions, and management status
  • Compliance — smart group membership indicating compliance state
  • Configurations — configuration profiles and their deployment status
  • Installed applications (AI tool detection) — per-computer application inventory pulled via the APPLICATIONS section on /api/v1/computers-inventory (inline with the existing device sync — no extra API calls or rate-limit pressure). Each app is classified against a closed catalog of 30+ AI tools (Cursor, Claude desktop, ChatGPT desktop, Ollama, LM Studio, and others). Classified installs surface the AI tool installed on managed device finding and feed three cross-platform compound rules that join the device install with the identity's OAuth grants and IDP classification. The APPLICATIONS section is included in the existing read role's scope — no re-consent or permission change required for already-connected Jamf instances.
