When installing Jamf Pro, it prompts for a username and password. Should I use my own Jamf Pro login credentials for this, or is it recommended to create and use a generic account specifically for installation purposes?

Hi ​@DAdmin 930b818 wilderschools you can use your account to login. It should be an account that has admin privileges.

Jamf has begun severely limiting API access to username/password accounts.  Pretty pretty please enable bearer token authentication in this app to allow full API access again:
