You will likely further down the road when you have the basics setup need this tool https://github.com/jamf/PPPC-Utility This is a very useful tool to create configs that allows you to deploy app permissions so the end user does not have to allow things. For example you could create a profile that gives Microsoft Teams camera and disk access for sharing files so it does not nag the user to allow it.

Privacy Settings via PPPC-Profile not visible?

we're currently using Jamf Connect and Intune to enroll our Mac´s. For the privacy settings, we're using the PPPC-Utility from Jamf. Now the question: After applying these PPPC-Profiles the silders (In Privacy Settings) are still turned off, but it seems to work. Is this behavior normal?
