Enhancing macOS Notifications with New Intune Features
Microsoft has introduced a new permission prompt aimed at improving the macOS notification experience for users running shell scripts. This update comes with the latest version of the Intune management agent for macOS.
What’s New?
Starting with version 2407.005, the Intune agent will now request access to “System Events” on macOS. This change enhances reliability and consistency for notifications appearing in the Notification Center.
“When a script policy with a notification command is received, the agent requests access to ‘System Events’ on macOS.”
Upon receiving a script, users will see a prompt asking them to allow or deny this permission. If they select “Allow,” notifications for scripts run by the Intune agent will be enabled. Conversely, selecting “Don’t Allow” will disable these notifications.
Major Updates to Expect
In the coming weeks, the Intune agent will receive an updated Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload. This update will silently configure permissions using mobile device management.
For organizations deploying macOS shell scripts, it’s crucial to communicate this change to users. They should be advised to select “Allow” when prompted. This setting can be managed under System Preferences > Privacy and Security > Automation on macOS devices.
What’s Important to Know
There’s no impact on the Intune agent’s functionality based on user selections. The agent will continue to manage devices and run assigned policies regardless of the user’s choice.
“This setting can be managed under System Preferences > Privacy and Security > Automation on macOS devices.”
For organizations that have shell scripts configured to turn notifications on, users will receive the permission prompt. If your scripts have the setting “Hide script notifications on devices” set to “Not configured,” it’s essential to review this setting.
Conclusion
This new permission prompt represents a significant step in enhancing user experience with macOS notifications. By ensuring users are informed and guided, organizations can maintain a seamless workflow while leveraging Intune’s capabilities.
