Hello,

on macOS 14, With PPPC Utility, i want to create a profil who allow the usage of camera and microphone on an .app. But when i open PCCC Utility or make it across web admin from Jam, there is not “Allow” option available in the select field.

I read that the application must be without hardened runtime, but if i remove the hardened runtime, the app can’t be export via “Archive” → “Direct distribution”.

Any idea ?

The end user would need to allow or not allow for camera and microphone. Apple restricts this so that the end user must approve them locally on the machine.

Thank you for responding ​@mvu I got scared, based on the title of the post, and thought this was a spam post for a second.

@PAF1, ​@mvu really knows his stuff and I hope his response can can help answer your question. 
Have a great day to you both!

Not taking away from ​@mvu ‘s answer but generally if it’s not available in the PPPC Utility then it’s something the user would need to approve.  There are a few things, for security reasons, that the user needs to allow rather than it being set by the MDM.

You might take a look at this: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/tree/main/PPPCNudge.  It gives you a GUI to make sure that the user has the appropriate permissions  in place for a particular app
