Hello,
I am attempting to disable 2 settings in outlook for mac Office 365 New look 16.77.1
the 2 settings are
Prevent users from applying the Encrypt-Only option to emails when using Microsoft 365 Message Encryption.
Domain | com.microsoft.Outlook |
Key | DisableEncryptOnly |
Data Type | Boolean |
Possible values | false (default) true |
Requires Configuration Profile | No |
Availability | 16.40 |
Comments | Only applies to the new Outlook. |
Prevent users from applying the Do Not Forward option to emails when using Microsoft 365 Message Encryption.
Domain | com.microsoft.Outlook |
Key | DisableDoNotForward |
Data Type | Boolean |
Possible values | false (default) true |
Requires Configuration Profile | No |
Availability | 16.40 |
Comments | Only applies to the new Outlook. |
I ran
sudo defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook DisableEncryptOnly -bool TRUE
sudo defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook DisableDoNotForward -bool TRUE
in terminal and nothing the options do not grey out when i compose a new mail and go to drafts...

What am i doing wrong?

My understanding is that the options will only be greyed out if the preferences are set via MDM using a Configuration Profile.

I think you are right it was weird in the documentation it says config profile needed NO but i setup a config profile and tested it and it worked without issue... for anyone that needs to do these settings you can use the external options and there is a com.microsoft.Outlook schema to use that has it... worked perfectly.
