Users must enroll their Mac in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) software.
User Approved MDM (UAMDM) enrollment or enrollment via Apple Business Manager (ABM)/Apple School Manager (ASM) is required to manage certain security settings. Currently these include:
* Allowed Kernel Extensions
* Allowed Approved System Extensions
* Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload
* ExtensibleSingleSignOn
* FDEFileVault
In macOS 11, UAMDM grants Supervised status on a Mac, unlocking the following MDM features, which were previously locked behind ABM:
* Activation Lock Bypass
* Access to Bootstrap Tokens
* Scheduling Software Updates
* Query list and delete local users
Configure the macOS system by ensuring that system is enrolled via UAMDM.
Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce enrollment in mobile device management with the following command:
/usr/bin/profiles status -type enrollment | /usr/bin/awk -F: '/MDM enrollment/ {print $2}' | /usr/bin/grep -c "Yes (User Approved)"
If the result is not "1", this is a finding.
