What does the JAMF Self Service application allow users to do?

The JAMF Self Service application is designed to empower users by allowing them to install approved applications and resources without requiring administrator access. This is particularly beneficial in an enterprise environment where IT administrators want to provide users with the tools they need while maintaining control over what can be added to the devices. By using Self Service, users can easily access and manage the software they need for their work, ensuring a streamlined experience and reducing the dependency on IT for routine software installation or updates.

The functionality of Self Service promotes user autonomy and enhances operational efficiency while also maintaining security guidelines set by the organization. It allows for a catalog of approved apps and resources that have been vetted by the IT department, ensuring that users can only access software that is safe and compliant with corporate policies.

Accessing sensitive admin settings or modifying device security settings are not within the scope of the Self Service app, as this could pose security risks. Furthermore, the option to remove all applications from the device extends beyond the intended user permissions, which are focused on installation rather than full device management.
