Hi

i am fairly new to jamf and mac. I need to activate the location service on several mac os x 10.15 (cf photo). Is it possible to authorize it from jamf? How?

Thank you

I use this script from a Jamf Pro Policy

#
# Script Variables
# <------------------------ Insert your script variables below ------------------------>

# Set variable in Jamf Pro policy to either Yes or No
setLocationServices=$4

#
# Script Functions
# <------------------------ Insert your script functions below ------------------------>


#
# Core Script
# <--------------------------- Insert your main code below ---------------------------->

# Enable Location Services
if [ "$setLocationServices" == "Yes" ]; then
    locationServices=$(/usr/bin/defaults read /var/db/locationd/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.locationd.plist LocationServicesEnabled)
    if [ "$locationServices" == "0" ]; then
        echo "Locations Services disabled"
        output=$(/usr/bin/defaults write /var/db/locationd/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.locationd LocationServicesEnabled -bool true; /bin/launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.locationd 2>&1)
        echo "$output"
    fi
fi

Oh great. It seems to be working but I still can't allow localization for a specific app like firefox. Does it work with a script too? Because in pppc I don't see anything

Hi,
It works with firefox but not with chrome. Has anyone ever managed to enable locate on chrome?
Thank you

How did you go about enabling this via script for Firefox?
