Create device groups in Jamf Pro

This article explains how to create device groups in Jamf Pro for organizing macOS devices that run Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Device groups let you target specific sets of machines when deploying Defender for Endpoint configurations and policies. Set up Jamf Pro device groups similar to Group Policy organizational units (OUs), Microsoft Configuration Manager device collections, and Intune device groups.

  1. Navigate to Static Computer Groups.

  2. Select New.

    The Jamf Pro1 page

  3. Provide a display name and select Save.

    The Jamf Pro2 page

  4. After saving, Contoso's Machine Group appears under Static Computer Groups.

    The Jamf Pro3 page

Note

You aren't required to use static groups. It's often more convenient and flexible to use, for example, JAMF Pro's smart groups instead.

Next step

After you set up device groups, the next step is to set up Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on macOS policies in Jamf Pro.
