Create a Device Level macOS Allow Standard Users to Approve Screen Share Policy

Some apps and websites can access and record the contents of your screen on your Mac device. This policy lets you select and control which apps and web sites standard users are allowed to record and share the contents of their screen. This policy works on all JumpCloud-supported macOS devices.

Starting with macOS Big Sur, end-users with standard permission no longer have the ability to grant applications the permissions to screen share and record unless explicitly granted access via an MDM payload.

A list of applications that have permissions to screen record can be found  in System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording.

Prerequisites

• Apple Mobile Device Management (MDM) must be configured for your organization and Mac computers must be enrolled in JumpCloud MDM. See Set up Apple MDM. 
• This policy is supported on Mac computers running macOS 11 and later.
• Devices must have an active network connection for this policy to take effect.

Considerations

• To grant permissions to the selected apps in the policy, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording and manually grant permissions.
