Blast Radius Analyzer

Before modifying or deleting any Jamf object, run a Blast Radius check to see exactly what will be affected downstream.

What It Analyzes

Blast Radius maps every downstream dependency for:

• Extension Attributes
• Smart Groups
• Scripts
• Categories

Supported Reference Types

• Computer Smart Groups → policies, profiles, patch titles that scope to them
• Extension Attributes → smart groups, advanced searches that reference them
• Scripts → policies that call them as pre- or post-install actions
• Categories → all objects using that category

How to Use

1. Open the Scope tab in the sidebar
2. Select an object type: Smart Group, Script, EA, or Category
3. Search for the object by name
4. Click Analyze Blast Radius
5. Results show all downstream references instantly
