macOS Media Management Trouble

Hi Ashton,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

In macOS MDM management, the media management profile is treated as a user profile. This means, the media management policy can work only for those user accounts present at the time of enrollment of a device.

This is because the users present at the time of enrollment are “managed users”, while the ones created after enrollment, are treated as “unmanaged users”. I’m afraid there is no way around this as it has been designed that way. However, you can have the main user account that is DEP managed, to be assigned with the media management policy.

Cheers!

Will I be able to connect the printers with the machine after enabling the USB restrictions under the Mac media management in the policy.

Hi @ida-sol,

Yes, there will be no complications in connecting the printer to a macOS device even when you deny the use of all external media with the Mac Media Management policy.

Hope this helps!
