I'm seeing this issue with certain installers on Sonoma 14.6.1. When deploying via recurring check-in trigger, the policy just fails. When triggering via Self Service, I see the pop-up (attached) and after accepting and authenticating, the install works as expected. 

I've dug through some older threads to see if there was a problem with the Jamf and Terminal PPPC that we use but I can't find the issue! 

I've attached screenshots of the Config Profiles I've tried, also tried the one linked below but no joy! Please could someone help me find what I am missing!

Yeah I did that with this particular one and still see failed policy and "Jamf" wanting access to finder. As mentioned, this isn't the only package that I am having this issue with so really I am just looking to give Jamf the permission it needs to run the installers. 


if you just build a pkg with the app.. dragged in.. then you don't need to do anything... if your getting popups like this.. something else is wrong.. fix the pkg / issue.. don't grant access...

    This firmware updater for soundcards that we use is one of the few things that need it:

    The software itself is fine, it's just the installer that needs this extra permission.

    The version I am deploying has been repackaged using Composer. I didn't include any post-install scripts so I don't think that's the part that is causing the issue. Is there nothing I can add to a PPPC to give Jamf that permission?

    if you grabbed to app and made a new pkg in composer.. then its just an app.  

    not to tell you how to do.. but...

    open composer.. new - modified - name it - delete all - create Applications folder - add app to folder - fix perms.. build..
