Installomator VS MakeMeAnAdmin

If you have access to a Mac, Installomator is a good encapsulation of shell scripting.

I used to use something like the above script but switched to using Installomator for all apps we use that it supports. It can do the initial install as a push or from Self Service, and then you can set it up to patch software as well. https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator

If you want to make things easy for your users and yourself, take a look at Installomator. It'll unlock a lot of nice workflows for your users, since you could put a specific title's install action available in Self Service and thats always gonna be easier than trying to track down the vendor's URL and finding the right download. It also means you don't have to repackage anything.

Munki is not an MDM and I recently learned there's this project called Installomator that might help.

Looks like you’re trying to update/work with version 4 but the installomator version is still on version 3. I’d suggest using build a label for musescore4

im trying to use the MakeMeAdmin for MacOSX ( GitHub - jamf/MakeMeAnAdmin: Provides temporary admin access for a standard user via Jamf Self Service )

I'm looking for some solution to grant user temp admin rights (for example 10 minutes). I tried to do this similarly as I do it with Jamf, take that script, pack it as a .pkg*, and allow users to install it to get 10 minutes of local admin. With Jamf it works like a charm, tests with manual installation are positive too (manual I mean run it as a root on my test MacBook). Unfortulently Intune deployment won't work. It stops at downloading status and nothing happens. To create an installation package I use Jamf Composer.

My school MacBook used to have a make me an admin command in Self Service, but for obvious reason it was removed. I have seen a few other kids use a script to route presumably https://github.com/jamf/MakeMeAnAdmin through self service allowing it to execute a sudo command. When I try to run the script on it’s own it asks for a Sudo password which I obviously don’t have. Does anybody know how I could write this script or know how to get this script to run? Thanks

Before the release of Monterey, I was experimenting with krypted's MakeMeAnAdmin script. After the release of Monterey, I started noticing issues with the script, especially when executed on Apple Silicon Macs. Then, I discovered geekquixotic's MakeMeAnAdmin Script. The script seems to work very well for elevation and removal of privileges, but I'm having some trouble getting the logging and the group removal feature working. I'm hoping someone else uses this variation of MakeMeAnAdmin and can help me figure out what I might be doing wrong.

For a real-world example, look at Jamf’s own “MakeMeAnAdmin” script (https://github.com/jamf/MakeMeAnAdmin/blob/master/MakeMeAnAdmin.sh). This is designed to do exactly what I describe above, but it doesn’t work for me on Monterey or on Big Sur. The LaunchDaemon is never actually removed from /Library/LaunchDaemons after it gets unloaded and the script is not deleted either.
