Jamf’s PPPC utility allows you to make Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) profiles more easily.

I use this mainly for lab environment where students don’t have admin rights and I want to minimize the distraction from the learning process & prevent confusion.

I first install & run the software on a machine that’s never had the software installed. Every single PPPC pop-up of X wants Y access, I take a screenshot (for record keeping). I then also go in to System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy Tab and look at all the categories also look for the software for PPPC prompts that may not of tripped yet.

Most software, it’s drag the application to the left column select the various drops down options, then upload to Jamf. I then scope the profile to another test machine that’s also never had the software, verify the profile is installed, install the software, and see if I still get any PPPC prompts.

An Example – Firefox wants access to the download folder.

You drag firefox app to the left column, and use the drop down to select approve for the download folder.

Upload it to jamf via the PPPC utility, and it creates this for you

When a machine has this profile installed,  when Firefox tries to access the download folder just works without prompting the user.

Important Note – There are some PPPC permissions you can not per-approve, per Apple. Example Camera, Microphone.

Found this Youtube video that shows (with slightly older version of the PPPC utility) good overview
