+7Hey all.
Is there a way to lock access to the WiFi settings on a macbook only during certain time periods combined with when a non-admin user is logged in? We're having issues with our students using their hot spots and want to lock the computers to the campus WiFi durring class times.
+11You can do with 2 launchagents and 2 scripts, just write a script to turn off wifi and mechanism to check if user admin, second launchagent/script to do opposite
script and launchagent examples below:
#!/bin/bash
if groups $(whoami) | grep -q "\\badmin\\b"; then
echo "User is an admin."
else
echo "User is NOT an admin. Turning off wifi"
networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
fi
