Is it possible to pass parameters for a script through the jamf policy -trigger command? For example, if I wanted to pass an end user's  email into a script that is being run in the policy I am calling can you enter sudo jamf policy -trigger <policyname> <user@email.com>

If you are populating the user and location fields in a computers records than you could deploy a PLIST that contains all that info which you can leverage in your scripts.

Technically yes, but functionally no. What problem are you trying to solve by doing this? Maybe with a better idea of the end goal we can provide other options or solutions.
