Hey everyone, We’re trying to deploy “PDFsam” application to a fleet of macOS devices in our organization.

macOS devices compliant despite different password policy?

Hi everyone, We’ve enforced a passcode policy on our macOS devices with a minimum password length of 12 characters. But I’m seeing a few devices with 8-character passwords still marked as compliant in the portal. Does anyone know how this is possible? Is the system checking all user accounts or only specific ones?

Block CLI tools installation

Hi community. Is there a way to completely block the installation of CLI tools on my managed macOS devices? Specifically, I want to ensure users cannot trigger installations via Terminal commands like git, gcc, or others that prompt the system to download and install developer tools.

Homepage setup and blank tab option for Safari and Chrome

Hi all! We need to implement a default homepage in both Safari and Chrome and have a second tab open blank when the browsers launch. Using a configuration profile does set these options, but it also locks them up so our employees can’t change the homepage settings later if they prefer. We’d like to push…

Allow non-admins to disable automatically joining a network

Hey, Our organization manages macOS devices, and users often experience their devices automatically connecting to previously saved networks due to auto-join being enabled. However, when they attempt to disable auto-join, it requires admin privileges. Is there a way to let non-admin users control this setting without IT intervention? Any insights would be appreciated!

When using Hexnode Access currently, a user has to authenticate multiple times to get into their workstation. On macOS with FileVault enabled, it's three times: drive decryption login, local user login, Google/M365 login. This…

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

MacOS AppCatalog - Download / Install progressbar

It would be really nice to have a progress bar for the macOS App Catalog. So when i click on the desired App i can see the installation progress and also a confirmation once it is done. Just like the Managed Software Update application for Munki. Also the "installed" banner is not really appealing.

Policies/Custom Profiles for macOS & iOS Devices

Will there be changes to reflect the new profile customizations in Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur in policies? Will there be a roadmap to be able to import custom profile configurations in to a policy so that we can further lock down and customize the look and feel to the end user?
