Jamf Pro allows you to utilize Apple’s iBeacon technology to monitor when computers and mobile devices enter or exit an iBeacon region. This allows you to ensure that configuration profiles and policies are only installed on a device when the device is in the specified region.

You can use iBeacon regions as the basis for the following:

  • The scope of a configuration profile

  • The scope of a policy (This initiates the policy the first time that a computer checks in to Jamf Pro while in the specified region.)

  • A custom trigger for a policy (The event name for initiating a policy when an iBeacon region change occurs is “beaconStateChange”. This initiates the policy immediately when a computer enters the specified region.)

If you have an iBeacon device in your environment, you can add that device to Jamf Pro as an iBeacon region. Jamf Pro can then detect when computers and mobile devices enter or exit the region.
