Jamf Self Service is a content delivery application for macOS that UCF IT uses to deliver applications and updates to your computer. When off-campus, you need an internet connection, but you do not need to connect to VPN to use Self Service.

For a Windows computer, see Getting Started with Microsoft’s Software Center

UCF IT provides several software applications and updates for you to install via Self Service.

To launch Self Service, navigate to Applications > Self Service.

Alternatively, typing Self Service in the macOS Spotlight returns Self Service as a result. Spotlight is located at the top right of the menu bar. Click the magnifying glass icon or press Command-Space bar.

You can also pin the application to your dock to make it readily available to launch.

When you open Self Service, the application lists available software for you to install on the computer. Software available through Self Service varies by licensing and area.

When you select an application, Self Service displays essential information about that application and any prerequisites required. Select the Install button to start installing an application.

UCF IT can deploy software to your computer that only you can access. To install software licensed for an individual, select the “Log in” button on the top right of the Self Service window. Login using your NID and NID password

You may occasionally see a notification icon in Self Service. These notifications are typically for patches deployed by UCF IT for applications or macOS security updates. If an update is available, an install box displays next to the software.

If you have any questions about any of the material covered here please reach out to the UCF IT Support Center.
