Hello,
I would like to grant user admin right for some time.
I have created a policy using: https://github.com/jamf/MakeMeAnAdmin/blob/master/MakeMeAnAdmin.sh
Logs error:
Any idea ?
Thanks

I suspect the following line might be the issue:
echo "Removing $userToRemove's admin privileges" (line 78)
try changing it to:
echo "Removing $userToRemove admin privileges" (notice removal of ')
I can't test on my work machine since security would have a field day...but hope that helps.

looks like the script was executed without anyone logged in based on the _mbsetupuser indicating the mac was in set-up mode when the script got activated.
