M1 Mac BigSUrOS update Selfservice

The majority of our user base is non-admin. I have tried multiple methods where I am trying it to bypass admin authorization and make it available in the self-service where users themselves can update the OS.

 

Has anyone been able to accomplish this, and if so, can someone provide a script and/or process of what had to implement to accomplish this?

We're using a customised version of https://github.com/homebysix/install-or-defer but we haven't tried it on M1 yet as far as I know. We've only got a few test M1s so it'll depend if they've been turned on since we got them and have had an update notification 😄

Unless you have a bootstrap token uploaded to Jamf Pro, the only real option you have is to turn on automatic updates.

There are multiple ways to offer users to upgrade and pass admin creds in a script for a Self-Service App that a user can Run or just send it as a remote command. I've attached the Jamf resource on Deploying macOS Upgrades and Updates with Jamf Pro. Feel free to reach out with any questions but this has everything you should need to start testing a workflow for your company.

This does in fact work as I have the Policy scoped out to our staff to upgrade when available. @tegus232

I finally got my hands on one of our test m1s it seemed to work out of the box but I maybe ignoring prep work done by others…

 

I unboxed and 11.2.3 M1 Mac built it using DEP enrolment then got a prompt from our upgrade script, which pops open the system preferences update panel and asks the user to hit restart/upgrade now, entering the standard user p/w this prompt is set to every 60s (once they have been ignoring it for a while!!!)
