We have encountered an issue, now that all of our machines are running 10.14 or higher. When we need to remote into a user's machine, if they do not have admin privileges to allow access for Bomgar we cannot control the Mac.

As a workaround for the time being, since we are currently work from home, I have had to promote these users to admin, which is less than ideal.

Is there a way to configure a policy that would allow Bomgar access to control the local machine without user intervention?

    I have a Self Service tool that creates an admin user, and a LaunchDaemon set for 20mins that runs a policy to remove the user. It also opens our help website in the default browser. The remove policy has a custom trigger as well as a login trigger. This gives the tech a temporary admin account they can use to elevate the session or to unlock or install things.
