Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload.md

Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload

The Privacy Preferences payload is designated by specifying com.apple.TCC.configuration-profile-policy value as the PayloadType value.

It controls the settings that are displayed in the ”Privacy” tab of the ”Security & Privacy” pane in System Preferences.

This profile must be delivered via a user approved MDM server.

Availability: Available in macOS 10.14 and later.

In addition to the settings common to all payloads, this payload defines this key:
