MakeMeAnAdmin VS swiftDialog

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.

If they are running macOS 11+ and they are admins (which i assume they are) i would get them enrolled, and make a swiftDialog - https://github.com/bartreardon/swiftDialog prompt that is pushed repeatedly until they install it. Track who has not yet installed it and pester their managers if they dont, but this will require buy in at every level or they will just ignore you. good luck.

It still works but you may find better options using Swift Dialog going forward - Dan Snelson has been doing quite a bit with it.

Using Bart Reardon’s swiftDialog and Jamf Pro Policy Script Parameters, creating engaging end-user messages is easy.

I was making a lot of my packages with Composer, so very similar. I’m currently looking into updating my Installomator scripts to start leveraging the new swiftDialog integration - looks very clean.

There's also swiftDialog, which I just learned exists last week via a video from the MacDevOpsYVR conference.
