Can someone explain why certain Jamf policy 'User Interaction' notifications appear in the macOS Notification Center, and other polices (that are configured identically) have notifications that appear in a jamfHelper utility-style floating persistent windows?

There’s a note about this in their documentation: https://learn.jamf.com/bundle/jamf-pro-documentation-current/page/User_Interaction_with_Policies.html#:~:text=User%20Interaction%20allows%20you%20to,before%20a%20policy%20restarts%20computers.

 

Note:

When configuring User Interaction messages for computers with macOS 10.8 or later, most messages are displayed in Notification Center in a category called “Management”. Otherwise, messages are displayed using the Jamf Helper utility.”

 

It doesn’t expand on why this happens, just that it does.
