When making a script available in the Self Service app and the user runs the script.
Where is it stored and how long will it be stored there?
I see packages in the /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Receipts folder, but no scripts are there are stored there

When scripts from Jamf Pro are run, my observation is that they are temporarily stored in the /Library/Application Support/JAMF/tmp folder whilst they run, then are deleted once the policy has finished running them.

Hi @SlipStream , I tried granting myself access to that folder on my macbook, but it won't allow me to open the folder.

By default only the system has access to the /Library/Application Support/JAMF/tmp folder, but if you have admin rights on the Mac and grant yourself at least read access to the folder then you should be able to see inside it. And in turn you can observe that when a policy runs which calls upon a script from Jamf Pro, the script is temporarily stored there until it is finished with, then it is deleted.
