Jamf Launches Platform API Gateway With Unified OAuth 2.0 Access

· Original article ↗

Summary

Jamf has launched a gateway and platform APIs with unified OAuth 2.0 authentication, capability-based permissions and cross-platform audit records. The APIs support device management, compliance, blueprints and organization administration.

Key points

  • The gateway provides one endpoint and authentication model for Jamf integrations, with short-lived OAuth 2.0 tokens and credentials managed in Jamf Account.
  • Permissions are organized by capability and supported actions, rather than separately by product.
  • The initial gateway spans Jamf Pro, Jamf Protect, Jamf Account and selected Jamf Security Cloud capabilities.
  • Platform APIs cover blueprints, declaration reporting, compliance benchmarks, devices, device groups, device actions, AI policies, audit and organization management.
  • Device APIs are designed to be product-agnostic but initially cover devices managed by Jamf Pro; broader product coverage is planned.
  • Jamf says the APIs are generally available through Jamf Account, with reference documentation on its Developer Portal.
