Every time after deleting the app, I need to enable the camera permission for that app.
Is it possible in Jamf School that the permission is set to the camera with the distribution of app or when starting the app?

Thank you

The camera authorization can only be granted by the user himself, not by MDM. This is Apple's intention and not a bad thing.

Do you now, how it can be solved?

Why are you deleting the app in the first place? You can't release the permission for the camera via Config Profile. The user must ALWAYS do that manually. So don't delete the app and the permission will only appear once.

Thank you. The app includes a database and it must be deleted each time before the new use. And the app is also updated.

okay, that sounds pretty bad, so you don't have much choice but to reset the permissions each time.

unless you really get behind it and write a script that deletes the database and reloads and installs the app from the internet... then it should work.
