Set local admin profile pic

[stevefitz]

If I want to add a local admin profile pic, is the only way to do so by referencing an external site/vault to copy the image from? Or is there a way to store the file on Jamf?

It's been a very long while since I did this, but it can be done with terminal or at least could be done with terminal. Try the command below.

sudo dscl . create /Users/username Picture "/path/to/image.png"

Yeah, using this for a while too with success. I push the picture we want to the directory, and install package and script in 1 policy.

• dscl . create /Users/test Picture /Library/User\ Pictures/Fun/test.png
