    For Mac users in an Enterprise environment, this app gives the User control over administration of their machine by elevating their level of access to Administrator privileges on macOS. Users can set the time frame using Preferences to perform specific tasks such as install or remove an application.

  • I love SAP's Privileges app, but it's not perfect for every environment. I do love that you can manage its settings (for instance, set Privileges to only elevate to admin for a set period of time) with a configuration profile.

  • ProfileManifestsMirror

    Jamf JSON schema manifests automatically generated from ProfileCreator manifests (https://github.com/ProfileCreator/ProfileManifests)

  • This custom settings json for it makes managing it via Jamf so much easier as well.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
