Create a Device Level macOS Self Service App Catalog Policy

Use the macOS Self Service App Catalog policy to control which Mac computers can access the Self Service App Catalog from the JumpCloud macOS Menu Bar App. By default, the catalog is visible to all users. Apply this policy to hide the catalog on specific devices or device groups.

Prerequisites:

• Mac computers must run a supported version of macOS and have the JumpCloud agent v2.153.5 installed. See JumpCloud Agent Compatibility, System Requirements, and Impacts.

Considerations:

• If this policy is not applied, the catalog is shown by default.
• Hiding the entire JumpCloud macOS Menu Bar App with the JumpCloud App Controls policy also prevents users from opening the Self Service App Catalog. See Create a Device Level macOS JumpCloud App Controls Policy.
• To apply a policy to a device, the device must be running on a supported OS. Before you assign a policy, follow the instructions in Get Started: Devices.
• To apply a policy to a group of devices, you must define device groups. Before you assign a policy, follow the instructions in Get Started: Groups.

Creating the Policy

To create a Self Service App Catalog policy for Mac computers, do the following:

Selecting the Policy Template

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin portal.

2. Go to Device Management > Policy Management. The Policy Management page is displayed.
3. On the Policy Management page, click +Add New.
4. Select Device Policy to assign the policy to devices and device groups. On the New Device Policy page:
   • Select the macOS tab.
   • Search and select the required policy and click Configure. The Details tab of the policy is displayed.
   • On the Details tab, configure the required policy configuration settings.
   • (Optional) In the Policy Name field, enter a new name for the policy or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.
   • (Optional) In the Policy Notes field, enter details such as creation date of the policy, and information on testing and deployment of the policy.

Configuring the Policy

1. Under Settings, select Hide the App Catalog.

Applying the Policy

• (Optional) Select the Policy Groups tab. Select one or more policy groups where you want to add this policy. 
• Select the Device Groups tab. Select one or more device groups where you want to apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy only applies when a user logs into a supported Mac computer that is enrolled in Apple MDM.
• Or, select the Devices tab. Select one or more devices whom you want to add this policy to.
• Click Create Policy. A success message is displayed indicating the completion of policy creation.

Viewing Policy Status

1. Select the Status tab.
2. To see the last Result Log for a device where this policy is applied, click view.

After you save the policy, it may take a few minutes for the device to enforce it. You can view its status to determine if it applied successfully or if additional steps are needed.
