Hello Jamfnation!
My users are frequently getting the following pop up:
You don't have permission to use the application 'Touch.'

The users are admins on their machines. I believe this is a problem with our configuration profiles allowing or disallowing certain paths, however I do not know where this application "lives."

A quick google search tells me Touch is a Unix command-line interface program used to update the access date/modification date of a file.

Can anyone help me figure out how to eliminate this annoying pop up for my users? Thanks!

Touch is in /usr/bin

The vast majority of our users aren't admins, and these are the folders we allow in Application restrictions:
/Applications/
/Library/
/System/
/bin/
/usr/sbin/
/sbin/
/usr/bin/
/usr/local/jamf/bin/
/usr/local/bin/

They may not all be necessary, but it's working for us! :)

Cheers,
Mark
