One Time Pop Up Notice At Login

[Legath]

Hi,  I know there are some similar posts notably this one here: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/popup-user-notification/m-p/235439/thread-id/223319 but I'm relatively new to jamf pro and just looking for a bit of similar more tailored advice. I want to be able to set up a 'notice for a new user' policy that pops up only once on a Mac for the first time a user logs in, which has an accept button that the user must click for it to disappear.(a bit similar to accept terms and conditions before downloading a new program I guess). If the user does not click accept, then the policy stays on screen/ keeps being presented until accepted. Is it possible to  do something like this, maybe using some of the ideas presented in this thread above?  I'm up to Jamf 200 but not had much experience with creating policies or with scripting  yet, but I'm fairly confident I could  hopefully follow along some tips or any advice given here, thanks.

There is not really a good workflow for this. You could use Jamf helper run from a policy at login once per device and configure it to only have an accept box or add a reject box that runs a script to log the user out. However, Jamf helper is just an application and can be force quit. It seems like a login policy banner would be more appropriate for your use case, but unless you have a policy in Jamf to remove the banner after login it will prompt after every reboot; which may be a good idea.

Good point, thanks so much for this and the link.  I think I will give the policy banner a go, with another to remove it once accepted. I will post back if I'm successful after testing it out.
