Create a Device Level macOS App Notification Settings Policy

This policy lets you use the bundle identifier to configure the notification settings for a macOS application. When this policy is applied, the notifications for the app will be delivered based on the settings in this policy and the user will not need to configure the notification settings.

• This policy is supported on Mac computers running macOS 10.15 and later.
