Hello ,
I'm a sys admin and use Jamf Pro . Is there any way to restrict the ability to screenshot and download emails on employee devices through policies or some other way ?
Thanks .

Looks like you found the thread discussing using a config profile.
In answer to your questions on that thread:
1. Its applied to all apps. As tlarkin mentions in that thread, trying to limit it to/or disable it on specific apps causes issues and trying to apply it in other ways can face undesired race conditions with the restriction being applied in time.
2. It's a config profile so distributed through the MDM, not policies.
You will no longer be able to add a config profile to a machine locally without the users approval (i.e., packaging it then using the profiles terminal command to install it). Not the best method if applying a security requirement.
Using the information on the link from above, this is easy to do, for disabling Screenshots.
In Terminal run this:
defaults write ~/Desktop/com.apple.applicationaccess.plist allowScreenShot -bool false
Then run
plutil -convert xml1 ~/Desktop/com.apple.applicationaccess.plist
Then back in Jamf Pro, create a new Config Profile and add the Application & Custom Settings payload. Choose the Upload option from the items in that payload and then upload that plist file created above. Make sure the domain gets imported or added, which should be com.apple.applicationaccess
Scope and deploy to a test Mac. Once it's applied, you should be blocked on that Mac from taking any screenshots.
For blocking downloading of emails, I don't have anything to help with that. You might need to explain a little bit more what you're trying to do with that.

You should really be looking at doing that on the email server side, or with a DLP product, not with Jamf. You're going to be very limited in what you can do within Jamf on the endpoints to control this.
Of course, you could look to see if the email program everyone uses in the company has any settings that can be applied in a configuration profile for controlling this, but I kind of doubt it.
