You can use the JumpCloud App Controls to hide the JumpCloud Menu Bar App from macOS devices in your organization. The JumpCloud Menu Bar App lets users log in to their device using their JumpCloud credentials and access the User Portal without having to re-enter a password. The user\u2019s JumpCloud password also provides access to the device, software, WiFi, and everything else an IT infrastructure has to offer. The user can also use the JumpCloud Menu Bar App to change the JumpCloud password without Admin intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The JumpCloud agent silently installs the JumpCloud Menu Bar App automatically. You don’t have to remember to manually install the JumpCloud Menu Bar App. If you don’t want to provide the user with access to the JumpCloud Menu Bar App, you must manually hide it. Although you can hide the JumpCloud Menu Bar App on a user\u2019s device, we recommend that you leave it enabled. See\u00a0Getting Started: the JumpCloud Menu Bar App<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the JumpCloud Menu Bar App can\u2019t be used on a device and should be hidden. One of these cases is when user accounts are managed by Active Directory through AD Integration. These user accounts can\u2019t use the JumpCloud Menu Bar App to reset their passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you create this policy, you can apply it to devices and groups of devices and monitor the status of each device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
