Configuring a Privacy Preference Policy for Rescue
On an unattended Mac, the first time you open Rescue, you'll see a dialog asking to allow Rescue access to the Downloads folder.
However, for a Mac that you manage with Jamf Pro, you can use a configuration profile to allow apps to access certain files used for system administration, and to access application data. For example, if an app requests access to your Downloads folder, the configuration profile can allow or deny the request without user intervention. As an MDM administrator, you can apply a configuration profile with the Privacy Preferences Policy Control payload to stop these messages from being presented to the user. Not all messages can be managed using the Privacy Preferences Policy Control payload. For example, access to the camera, microphone, and screen recording must be approved by the user and cannot be managed by an MDM server.
