What are "Scripts" used for in Jamf Pro?

Scripts in Jamf Pro are primarily used to execute custom commands or operations on managed devices. They provide a flexible way to automate various tasks that are not natively supported within the Jamf Pro interface. This can include tasks such as modifying system settings, managing files, or performing complex configurations that require a sequence of commands. By leveraging scripts, administrators can tailor the management of devices to meet specific organizational needs, enhancing overall functionality and efficiency.

While creating user accounts on managed devices, installing applications, or tracking device usage statistics are important functions in the device management process, they typically rely on built-in features of Jamf Pro or other frameworks. Scripts complement these core functionalities by allowing for more intricate or unique tasks that cannot be easily achieved through standard configuration profiles or policies.
