I have a policy to manage the applications that show on the Dock. In the picture provided it shows the triggers and execution frequency. For some reason the policy executed on the local admin account, but since these laptops are in a 1 too many program we have several local Standard accounts created for students. I am noticing that the policy has trouble executing on the other Standard accounts. In the logs of the policy, the device does not even show up, but i know it has executed on the admin account. Any advice or tips? Picture provided shows the triggers and frequency.

Thanks

Probably best not to trigger on Startup, and if you're going to modify 28 Dock items taking a look at https://github.com/kcrawford/dockutil would definitely be recommended.

Same tips from me, do not use the Startup Event.

Check if the policy runs after login when you run the

sudo jamf policy -event login

in Terminal.

Hi @acamare10 

I would also recommend Dockutil for managing Dock.
