Manage Command Templates in the MTP

Managed Service Provider (MSP) Admins can save valuable time and reduce errors when running custom commands on devices across many organizations by creating command templates. These can be accessed, and applied to any of your tenant organizations, instead of manually configuring commands for each one. 

Creating Command Templates

To create command templates:

1. Log in to your MTP: https://console.jumpcloud.com.
2. Launch an Organization.
3. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Commands.
4. Click ( + ), then choose Command which allows you to manually create a new command. For help creating a new command manually, see Get Started: Commands.
5. After your fields are filled out, click save and create template.
   • This option is only available to users with the MSP Admin with Billing role permissions.

6. This saves a local copy of the command to the organization, while also storing it as a template that can be accessed and applied to any of your tenant organizations. Now when you go to create a command from a template, your new template will be saved as an option for you to choose from.
   • Uploaded files won’t be stored in templates.

Using Command Templates

To use command templates:

1. Log in to your MTP: https://console.jumpcloud.com.
2. Launch an Organization.
3. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Commands.
4. On the Commands page, click ( + ) and choose Command from Template.

6. Click configure.
7. In the New Command window, enter a unique name for the new command to differentiate it from other commands. 
8. For Type, select Linux, Windows, or Mac.
9. Make other necessary changes to the settings. For instructions on changing each field, see Get Started: Commands.
10. Click the Device Groups tab to select the device groups where this command will execute.
11. Select the Devices tab to select the devices where this command will execute.
    • Optional: Select the Command Runners tab to select a user as a Command Runner with access to run the command. Admins can run commands on all devices by default.
12. Click save to create a new command.
    • Optional: Click save and create template if you made any edits and want another template created.
