What are extension attributes used for in Jamf Pro?

Extension attributes in Jamf Pro are specifically designed to collect additional information about devices that goes beyond the standard inventory data provided by Jamf Pro. This feature allows administrators to capture unique data relevant to their organization's needs, such as user-defined fields or any specific information about the hardware or software environment that is not typically included in the default inventory collection.

For example, an organization might want to track which users are utilizing specific peripherals, or they may want to gather custom software version information that isn't automatically captured. By creating extension attributes, administrators can enhance the visibility and management capabilities within Jamf Pro, ensuring they have a comprehensive view of their devices tailored to their operational requirements.

The other choices focus on managing permissions, application licenses, or network settings, which are separate functionalities within Jamf Pro and not directly related to the purpose of extension attributes.
