Subscribe MDM to ABM device assignment change notifications
Currently MDM must poll Apple Business for device assignments in order to detect any changes. Even with frequent syncs, admins still occasionally run into issues where devices were recently added to Apple Business and properly assigned, but do not properly enroll because they forgot to manually sync and the timing was in between regular scheduled syncs. The MDM can attempt to solve this by polling with high frequency, but there are still gaps and it feels a bit excessive. Current best practice is to just manually sync every time devices are added, but it's easy for admins to forget. In organizations with devices being added from multiple sources/individuals, this becomes more of challenge. Ideally, the MDM would be able to subscribe to notifications from Apple Business any time an assignment is updated and receive a list of changes - similar to how it works with Apps & Books licenses. This would simplify the admin experience and reduce end-user friction caused from devices not being enrolled properly on initial setup. Are there any plans to implement this type of functionality? If not, is there a "reasonable" interval you recommend polling for device assignment changes? FB16997801
