Using the Jamf Pro API to delete computers from Jamf Pro

Every so often, I need to delete one or multiple computers from a Jamf Pro server. This can be accomplished in the Jamf Pro admin console, but it can also be accomplished via the Jamf Pro API’s computers-inventory API endpoint. For more details, please see below the jump.

Using Self Service+ as a privilege elevation tool

As part of developing Self Service+, Jamf built in functionality which originally came from their Jamf Connect tool. Among the functionality added to the Self Service+ app is Jamf Connect’s ability to serve as a privilege elevation tool. This means that Self Service+ can be used as a privilege elevation tool for those shops who are interested in providing and managing admin privileges to standard user accounts on macOS.

Deploying software update declarations for automatic minor OS updates using Blueprints in Jamf Pro

Back in November 2025, Jamf released options for automatically upgrading the OS version of a Mac to the latest version of macOS that a particular Mac can support. However, this upgrade option meant that the Mac could potentially be upgraded to a new major version of macOS as part of the upgrade process.

For example, applying this software update declaration to a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.7.1 would not upgrade it to the latest version of Sequoia, which is 15.7.3 as of February 5, 2026. Instead the Mac would be upgraded to the latest version of macOS available, which is macOS Tahoe 26.2 as of February 5, 2026.

To address this, now there is an option for updating the OS version to the latest minor version of the OS that the Mac is currently running. Using the example above, now a software update declaration can be applied to update a Mac running macOS Sequoia to the very latest version of macOS Sequoia, but not upgrade the Mac to now run macOS Tahoe.

For those familiar with Jamf Pro’s managed software update functionality, the new software update declaration functionality provides the following update options:

• Download and schedule to install
• Latest minor version

The Latest minor version functionality in the managed software update functionality tells the managed Mac to download and install the latest update available to the current version of macOS that a particular Mac is running. The Blueprints software update declaration option provides that same experience, where you can do the following:

• Set that you want the managed Macs to update their OS version using the latest update for the current version of macOS that the Mac is running.
• Set a deadline that you want to have your Macs updated by.
