I'm the new admin at my school, but apparently this problem has plagued our 1:1 Macbook program for years. We whitelist/blacklist programs for a specific set of allowed functions, and our students get constant "You don't have permission to use the application [x]" popups. I'm talking 5-6 at start up and multiple times an hour beyond that. The names of these processes have changed over time, but the most common ones are:
- MessagesActionExtension
- TVCacheExtention
- launcher
- Google Updater (this one is recent, I might have the name wrong)
among many others. I've contacted JAMF support and they said to allow /Applications/Utilities/ and ~/Library into the whitelisted folders directory, but this does not solve the issue. It also allows Terminal use which is not what we wanted.
Trying to find and kill individual processes via Restricted Software has no effect positive or negative.
