Un-Restrict Big Sur Installer

When Big Sur came out, I used Restricted Software to restrict and delete the Big Sur Installer when it was attempted to run. Now I am removing that restriction on certain test computers by adding them to the Exclusions list under Scope. Unfortunately, doing this does not seem to un-restrict the installer immediately. Is there something else I need to do first (such as wait a certain amount of time, or run a recon, or restart)?

Thank you very much.

The blocks are applied the same as policies set to recurring check-in and ongoing. In effect, either force a check-in or wait until the next check in happens.

sudo jamf manage seemed to resolve this for me on a second test machine. Thank you @boberito
