Hello,
i have a package file which contains an .app binary with it, I need user level ownership for .app in order to perform some execution which is not possible without authorization with system ownership. Currently when i deploy the package jamf deploys it with system ownership. I have a post installation script in my package file which change the ownership from system to user but this script does not seems to work. I tried to run the package locally and in this case the script executes successfully. Is there any way to change ownership of the payload?
Question
Deploy package file by changing ownership from system to user.

+19How are you determining the user when changing ownership? Remember that Jamf installs run as root, not as the user.
You might want to post your post-install script (sanitized if necessary) so others can take a look.
+4@RBlount I am getting user in post script and adding ownership for this user. Attached is the script which i am using.
+16You can't use $USER in a Jamf Pro script, at least not for what you're trying to do. As @RBlount mentioned, this gets the user running the script, which would be root, not the logged in user account. Use something like this to get the logged in user
LoggedInUser=$(/usr/sbin/scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ {print $3}')Reply
