Self Service<br />

Overview of Self Service<br />

The Self Service application allows users to run management tasks on their computers without the help<br />

of an administrator. Using an intuitive interface similar to the one in iTunes, users can browse and run Self<br />

Service policies, access webpages, and utilize plug-ins developed with the Self Service API.<br />

The <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Server (JSS) allows you to manage every aspect of Self Service, including its<br />

installation, preferences, and the items available to users.<br />

The items in Self Service are simply policies configured with a few additional settings. You can make any<br />

policy available in Self Service and customize how it is displayed to users. This includes adding an icon and<br />

description, displaying the policy in relevant categories, and featuring it on the main page. Assigning users<br />

or computer groups to the policy’s scope allows you to determine which users have access to it from Self<br />

Service.<br />

You can also add plug-ins to extend the functionality of the application. Plug-ins can be URLs, which give<br />

users easy access to webpages right from the application, or custom plug-ins developed with the Self<br />

Service API.<br />
