Updating my Install Prey policy and script to test the latest installer etc on Mojave and got prompted with this gem.
We can avoid this with a config profile of course but wondering if anyone has spoken with Prey to somehow get this configured as part of the deployment/install process so the thief doesn't get prompted to allow Prey ;-) I'm figuring there is nothing Prey can do since it's part of the built in security of the OS.
Please LMK how you have adjusted your workflow/install process to avoid this?
@TomDay @larry_barrett This is PPPC profile related, however for camera and mic access Apple does not allow an admin to pre-authorize. You can only deny access to camera or mic, so this pop-up must be explicitly approved by the user. No way to prevent that message from appearing.
This screenshot is from the config profile reference guide:
It's true that you can't force those settings on, but I was able to get around this problem by pushing a config profile that explicitly forces those settings off. I denied access to ScreenCapture and Camera, tested it, and no more pop-ups warning potential thieves. I gave the profile a generic name (Defaults) in case the thief went poking around in the Profiles section. The screencaps and "candid" pics of thieves weren't all that important anyhow.
However, I just had another device show up in Prey yesterday, and when I marked it as missing, there were new options there to not attempt to take pictures or screenshots. I haven't tested that out, but it probably removes my need for the profile.
