+8Hi there,
We use the "Restrict the App Store" option in Jamf Pro Profile Config but this seems to not do anything to stop a user from signing in with their own Apple ID into the App Store on their MacBook. Does anyone know how to block signins to App Store?

add App Store to restricted software

This is the way, along with all applications that prompt for AppleID sign-ins like Mail and Messages. Apple is woefully inept at managing appleIDs, you either leave it alone or totally block it entirely.
