give permission to standard users to access date and time option macOS Ventura

Seems to be working on my machine running Ventura?

Try without the full path (leave out /usr/bin/): security authorizationdb write system.preferences.datetime allow

can you share the script which you are using on Ventura

Can you share the working script ?

@Muzaffar Did you ever get a solution working for this? I'm having the same issue as well.

@Muzaffar @techgeek were any of you able to get this working? I'm having the same issue on all my devices on Ventura.

Yes i got the solution try this method..

# Allows any user to change the date and time on their Mac.

/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write system.preferences.dateandtime.changetimezone allow
/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write system.preferences.datetime authenticate-session-owner-or-admin

I tried that but it still prompts for admin creds. I read that it will still ask for the user password when they want to change the date and time but the user doesn't have to be an admin but that didn't work for me either after entering my standard user creds.

Nvm I was able to get it working with the same script. I had to flush my policy logs and run sudo jamf policy to pull new policies. Thanks!

Doesn't work for me on Ventura, still prompts for admin

@tkimpton this is the script I use and it works on Ventura. It will still prompt you to enter credentials but you can enter the user or standard user credentials and it will work. It doesn't have to be a admin credentials.

The script worked great for the Date/Time. How can we implement this for Network/Wi-Fi settings and for Print/Copy settings?

@josefrometa I had to update the script to work with macOS 14.0. Try using this script. It works for me.

The script works great for the date/time preference/settings. I want to do the same with the network/wifi settings and print/scan settings. These were my previous code that doesn't work anymore:

#Unlock Network preference pane
security authorizationdb write system.preferences.network allow
security authorizationdb write system.services.systemconfiguration.network allow

#Unlock Print & Scan preference pane
security authorizationdb write system.preferences.printing allow


Thanks

@josefrometa ah read your post wrong. Try these script for Network and Printer management.

WOW! Thank you so much! That did it :) I'm sure it will be useful for many others. Have an amazing day.

This worked when nothing else did!  Thank you!

Thank you for this, but is there a reason lines 6 and 9 are identical?

No. Looks like a duplicate and you can remove one of the lines.

I had to update the script to work with macOS 14.1. Try using this script. It worked for me to allow standard user to change date and time.

#!/bin/bash

# Allows any user to change the date and time on their Mac.

/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write system.preferences.datetime allow

exit 0;
