micromdm VS macOS-enterprise-privileges

Not personally used it but have a look at MicroMDM and see if that fits your needs.

Micromdm is a fantastic project, but it's really meant as a framework to build more off of. I think the 'Not a product' section of micromdm's readme sums it up best https://github.com/micromdm/micromdm/blob/main/docs/user-guide/introduction.md

for the printer MDM, maybe https://github.com/micromdm/micromdm

https://micromdm.io/ is a self hosted option.

If you want a free, open source, self-hosted and are willing to do everything from the command line: https://micromdm.io/

Not very - there are several reference ones in various languages and frameworks. The difference I'm upset about is that Profile Manager got the closest to acting like a proper enterprise MDM, but still wouldn't let me supervise devices because I'm not a company. I'm not some weirdo who wants full control to devices I don't deserve it on, but I do want to make sure my grandparents' iPhones are up to date, or have the ability to make it beep when they call (from a land line) that they've lost it, or push family calendars or email accounts to their devices so they don't have to enter passwords. Apple has decided those features are only for the enterprise or schools, and I'm sadly neither.

If you're interested this[0] is the MDM reference I'm most interested in these days.

JAMF and Mosyle offers API, you may also may want to take a look at microMDM https://github.com/micromdm/micromdm

Also, if you need them to have admin rights, you can use something like https://github.com/SAP/macOS-enterprise-privileges

> For technically-inclined users, I'm still largely unconvinced of the value of SIP.

Problem is technically-inclined users are the ones most likely to not be running "defense in depth" and therefore susceptible to zero days such as the H.264->code execution discussion earlier this week.

Arguably, technically-inclined users participating in the software supply chain should go beyond SIP and run in Lockdown mode permanently, both on the dev machine and any mobile devices used for MFA, or at the very least self-install SAP's "Privileges" or equivalent that requires a deliberate unlock to act as Administrator.
