  • Create a new user that meets Vanta’s requirements 
    • We recommend vanta_service_user to help you remember its relation to Vanta
    • Full access and Custom  permission set
      • Note: We also support Site Access and Group Access if you’d like Vanta to have access only to particular Jamf objects belonging to a site. However, Users with Site Access cannot fetch Jamf accounts for Vanta access-related workflows. Proceed with this option if you do not wish to monitor Jamf account access in Vanta.
      • Please keep in mind that only workspace domains can use site scoping. An alternative for non-workspace domains would be using the VantaNoAlert group, a special group for removing computers from scoping.

Controlling Scope through Jamf Pro

Vanta’s Jamf integration enables you to control which computers and accounts should be automatically marked in and out of scope in Vanta by creating and managing Vanta groups within Jamf.

  • Log in to Jamf Pro and click Settings in the left sidebar
  • Navigate to Network followed by Sites.
  • Click the New button at the top right corner to create a site for scoping accounts and computers in and out of Vanta. The name needs to start with Vanta followed by any text, e.g., Vanta Employees.
  • Assign the group in Vanta to the desired accounts and computers. For more detailed instructions, visit the Jamf Pro product documentation.

For Workspace customers, please visit Control Scope with Jamf for Workspace.
