I am wondering if anyone could help with a process for automating with JAMF a way to click on settings for both zoom and VIA  after the install has happen.  Both applications need system preferences adjusted in order to use the product and we need help figuring out how to get JAMF to do this after the app is installed.  Any help is greatly appreciated.        Thank You

You can create a bash script to open those apps one time only at login or fill a smart group once the apps are installed and run once.

It’s quite literally something like this (and I took a guess on VIA)

#!/bin/sh
loggedInUser=$( scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

su $loggedInUser
open /Applications/zoom.us.app && open /Applications/VIA.app

This seems like configuration profiles that contain PPPC settings. If that isn’t enough to point you the right direction, I can try to provide more specific details.

You can’t use a PPPC for screen & system audio recording.  That’s the biggest one for Zoom.

Thanks Apple...

In fairness to Apple, having a screen and system audio recording permission would be pointless if it could be automatically overridden.

IMO if you “own” the hardware (e.g.: AxM/ Supervised), you should be able to do whatever you want with it.
