MDM managed configuration support
1 vote
I'm in a highly regulated global industry with a very cautious security group. We need managed preferences via MDM for Remote Desktop Manager. In our case, we don't allow the use of any AI unless it's been pre-approved by our security group to prevent data loss (and potentially excessively large financial and criminal penalties).
As our users don't have admin rights we could lock the .cfg file, but that would prohibit users from making normally acceptable changes.

Hello,
We will need some precision on what you need more exactly.
So for what I understand from your request, you need a way to manage the preferences for potentials RDM users so you are sure no AI assistants are used.
Do I understand well?
Best regards,

Correct, at a minimum - I'm sure there are more settings that enterprise admins would appreciate.
Being able to deploy managed preferences via Jamf, Intone, SCCM, WorkspaceOne, etc. would really help adoption in enterprise environments with managed macOS devices. Just like how Group Policies are a benefit for Window's admins. Editing the .cfg file and preventing non-admin editing to prevent user modification causes needless headaches for users and support over time.
