Yea, unfortunately it still doesnt seem to work for me.  I think its all related to accessibility which cant get the same path for osascripts.  At one point with @Bol hints, I was able to have the jamf wants access message suppressed but then it popped the accessibility message for osascript.  So I never got them both working together and its because my script wants to type info in the keyboard which Apple really does't want anything to do anymore lol.


@GabePPS Well, if you haven't given up on your Apple Script dreams yet.. It's just been acknowledged in testing so hopefully next major release, you could be back in business! 

  • Resolves an issue where PPPC payloads for Accessibility and AppleEvents do not suppress user approval prompts.

I believe this is in regard to an open radar i got escalated up the the MacOS security team.  (Or at least id like to think I had something to do with it lol.)

Apparently they listen when someone brings up issues listed as "security related" lol.

@Bol Actually I just got confirmation that Apple did fix this bug per my escalation from my SE.  They are asking me to test it...so now i need to get a machine on the beta and test my enrollment!

Well it's security related x 1000 from now on then. :D

Honestly though, it's to do with their Transparency, Consent, and Control security and has been bugged for a length of time now, it's a great thing finally been acknowledged, worked on and hopefully resolved.


Kudos to you for the radar rocket sent and let us know as soon as you've had the chance to test with your results!

@GabePPS Very curious about your results after your test, how did things go?

What are you trying to fix, it was mentioned Apple did sort the system events bug filed by @GabePPS

As I have tested this since Apple told me it was fixed, it still seems to be broken

I was going to post here last night it seems to be working for me. Very buggy getting there and I found whitelisting the binary worked better, somehow.
I wrote a script on login / self service that launches Safari homepage / MS SSO dialogue box, then pre fill the users email address and hits enter. There are other profiles at play though, I haven't yet pulled what I think is not needed to see if it breaks it yet.
