Hello everybody,

is there a way to give users the permission to edit the network-settings (example dns-settings).
Do i need a MDM-Payload for it (com.apple.dnsSettings.managed)?
And what is the easiest way to create a payload for things like that (Settings, permissions...).

Thanks

    I Used simple scripts to accomplish these types of issues. 

    to allow my users to edit a wifi setting i used this

     

    # Unlock Network preference pane
    sudo security authorizationdb write system.preferences.network allow
    sudo security authorizationdb write system.settings.network allow
    sudo security authorizationdb write system.services.systemconfiguration.network allow
    /usr/libexec/airportd prefs RequireAdminNetworkChange=NO RequireAdminIBSS=NO

     

    to add an automatic proxy, I added this

     

    /usr/sbin/networksetup -listallnetworkservices | grep -v "*" | while read a; do /usr/sbin/networksetup -setautoproxyurl "$a" https://pac.XXXXXXXXXX.net/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com/temp.pac; done

     

     

    dont be afraid to mess around with scripting. and remember the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid  (I say that to myself about 1000 times a day)
