Feature Request: Add "Assigned to User" field

[benphilware]

Would it be possible to add a field that would allow the user running the script to enter a User name that would then be passed to Jamf.

Currently one of our requirements when setting up a new computer is to ensure that there is a value in the Jamf User Name field.

• We use Active Directory, so we enter the users samaccountname in that field.
• Our current setup script, which I'm hoping/planning to replace with Setup your Mac with Swift Dialogs, has a function that requests the assigned to user ID and passes that to Jamf with a Jamf recon command that runs at the end of the script.
• Our setup script is generally run by field support, but it is designed to allow remote users to run it as well, so we purposely do not capture the current signed in user ID.

Thanks for the Feature Request, @benphilware.

Are you thinking of something like the following? /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf recon -endUsername ${assignedToUser}

What kind of error-checking do you need?

[benphilware]

Yes- that’s exactly what we’re doing. Re: error correction, in our case, we use the Active Directory samAccountName attribute which is formatted as 2-3 letters followed by 1-4 digits. I use a simple regex to validate the format with an error message that says “this looks like an Employee #. Please try again using your HMS ID” (We have a lot of users who confuse their employee ID # w/ their Active Directory ID.)

Of course that’s very specific to our particular use. Obviously not asking for that level of validation; just an idea of what we do. Perhaps just confirming that there is value there? (I could probably add the extra regex validation myself).

Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks for your patience, @benphilware, please test-drive v1.3.2 RC1.

NOTE: As indicated in the comments, as I don't use this feature, "you're on your own" for custom coding. (Please do reach out if your mileage varies too greatly.)
