I work in a school environment where I want to only allow access the certain apps instead of having to try to block every single app students install on their Macbooks. Had a look around in the discussion forum for ideas and I had a few questions.
If I try to use Configuration profiles with the restrictions option, when it comes to the section where 'user can always launch these apps' the only apps listed are the ones I believe come installed by default with the MacBook. If I have for example other apps that are not listed (e.g. Microsoft office, adobe suite, etc) is there a way for me to add apps to the list?
When it comes to Managed preferences and Application access if I do a whitelist, students will be able to use anything inside that's inside the applications path (/Applications/) folder? If that's the case I'm assuming that I wont be able to restrict any unwanted app that's already inside the application folder?
With Managed preferences when doing a folder whitelist, is it best to enforce at computer level or user level? All kids at school have their own Macbooks
Thanks for your time,
Henry
