This article explains how to deploy the SaaS Management data collector to your devices via Addigy.
Note: With Addigy, be sure to create your client first in SaaS Management by navigating to Clients > Add Client.
The SaaS Management agent can be easily deployed via Addigy via two simple steps.
- Push the custom profile to the desired target devices. This step suppresses and removes any pop-ups that might be shown to the user and ensures the deployment is silent.
- Upload and push a custom package containing the agent and run the installation script.
Deploy the custom package
- Within Addigy, Navigate to Catalog > MDM Profiles > New
- Within the payload section, select the option to create a custom profile
- Within the SaaS Management Platform, navigate to Org Preferences > Integrations > Custom Script
-
Select your client from the dropdown menu and locate the Installing on Mac Using MDM section
- Based on the version of MacOS, download the appropriate profile (Big Sur 11.0+ or Catalina 10.15 or earlier)
- In Addigy, click the Select .mobileconfig file
- Upload the custom profile you downloaded in the previous step
- Validate the options shown
-
Select Create Profile
- This profile will now appear under Policies > Catalog > MDM Profiles
- This profile will now appear under Policies > Catalog > MDM Profiles
Once complete, you can assign this new policy to a group of devices by navigating to the Policies > MDM Profiles menu and selecting the Deploy option.
Note: Pushing the “Deploy” button will push the package immediately, otherwise, it will be deployed with the next default deployment from Addigy (default - 30 minutes).
Upload and deploy the package containing the agent
-
Within SaaS Management
- Navigate to Org Preferences > Integrations > Custom Script
- Locate the Installing on Mac Using MDM section
- Click the Saaslio.pkg button to download the latest version of the package
- In Addigy, navigate to Catalog > Custom Software >Software
- Select New to add a new Software Entry
- Enter a name and description, then click the Select Files button
- Upload the .pkg file that you downloaded in the previous step
- Check the newly uploaded file from the list
- Hit Select to add it to the deployment
You should see several options already populated.
- Under the installation files menu, click Add under the Add installation script option
- You should see a new section called Installation Script appear
Before saving, you must add the Configuration Script from SaaS Management to the newly created install script.
- In SaaS Management, select your desired client deployment from the dropdown and locate the Installing Saaslio on Mac using MDM section
- Copy the script from SaaS Management as shown below
-
Return to Addigy and paste the configuration script to the bottom of the Installation Script option
- This should be added on line 2 directly under the existing script content
- Click Save to save the new Custom Software configuration in Addigy
Once complete, you can assign this new software package to a group of devices by navigating to the Policies > Software menu and selecting the Deploy option.
Note: Pushing the Deploy button will push the package immediately, otherwise, it will be deployed with the next default deployment from Addigy (default - 30 minutes).
If the script has run successfully, you’ll see the devices appear under the SaaS Management platform under Clients > (Select the Newly Created Client) > Users > Devices Tab after about 10 minutes.
