Bypass Admin Credentials in Self Service when downloading App Store apps?

[wwood]

Anybody know of a script (or something else) which can bypass or auto-complete the admin credential box when prompted for in Self Service? Specifically the prompt when you attempt to download an App store app.

Hello Wyatt, Currently there is no way to bypass this functionality for local users but we are looking into it. If you are a network user (bound to ad/od/etc) you shouldnt be prompted for this.

The purpose of this prompt for both App Store apps and User Level configuration Profiles is to do an MDM enrollment for that logged in user. This only needs to be done once per computer. More information on this can be found here: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=372

This is the only way to take advantage of User Level configuration profiles for local users. The advantage this gives us for App Store apps is once its MDM enrolled and you scope a VPP token to the associated user, if they click install in Self Service it should automatically start installing the app with an MDM command vs directing the users to the App Store to download it.

I am have a somewhat similar issue.

After I enable the account using the local admin, the users are now able to download anything through the App store. How can I prevent this?
