The Setup Assistant guides you through the setup of a new instance of Jamf Pro.

Requirements

You must have the following to complete Setup Assistant:

  • Jamf Pro instance name

    Contact Jamf Support to choose an instance name to be used for your instance URL.

  • Jamf Pro activation code

    To access this code, log in to the Jamf Account portal with your Jamf ID, and then go to the Jamf Pro Licenses page.
    Note:

    If your environment is hosted in Jamf Cloud, the activation code is populated automatically during Setup Assistant and at renewal.

  1. Go to your instance URL in your preferred browser.

    Your URL is in the format: https://JAMF_PRO_URL.jamfcloud.com.

  2. Read the Jamf Pro license agreement, and then click Accept.
  3. Enter your organization name and Jamf Pro activation code.
    Best Practice: Your organization name displays on all devices during enrollment when the management profile installs. Jamf recommends choosing a name your users will recognize and trust, and that matches the function of this Jamf Pro server.
  4. Click Next to create your first Jamf Pro user account.
  5. Enter the desired username and password.
  6. Log in to Jamf Pro using the newly created username and password.
The Jamf Pro dashboard displays. To continue your instance setup, you can now create additional user accounts, setup email notifications, or single sign-on (SSO).
