How can a user manually enroll a computer into Jamf?

A user can manually enroll a computer into Jamf by pointing their browser to the specific Jamf instance URL followed by the "/enroll" endpoint. This method leverages the web-based enrollment process that Jamf offers. When a user navigates to this URL, they are typically presented with a page that guides them through the enrollment process, which usually includes accepting the terms of service and entering their credentials. This approach is straightforward and doesn't require any additional software or commands to be run, making it accessible for users who may not be comfortable using the command line or who prefer a graphical interface.

In contrast, while entering a terminal command like 'jamf enroll' is a valid way to enroll when the Jamf binary is installed on a Mac, it assumes prior setup and isn't as direct as using the browser. Uploading a plist file through the Jamf interface is not a method for enrolling machines directly, as plist files are typically used for configurations rather than initial enrollment. Downloading the Jamf enrollment application from the website could facilitate enrollment, but it is not the primary or most common method utilized by users to initiate the enrollment process directly.

Thus, using the web-based enrollment endpoint is a clear and efficient way for users to manually enroll their devices
