    https://github.com/kc9wwh/MakeMeAdminPy is the one I have been using. The only issue I have run into is having it check the organizational admin account password. But it downgrades any admin accounts created with the privileges and adds them to a smartgroup in Jamf Pro which I have email notifications set up for. Not sure if this helps any.
