[MacTUG] SAP/macOS-enterprise-privileges: For Mac users in an Enterprise environment

[Edward Chrzanowski]

Would not "Sudo" be more secure?  We have a case where the students

need admin privileges to install modules in an App.  In particular - Android

Studio is used in a course and we are not sure which modules are needed.

Not sure if Privileges.app can be app-specific on a lab machine.  If it can

then it would be useful to consider it.

this app ensures secure environment and yet gives the User control over
administration of their machine by elevating their level of access to
Administrator privilege on macOS X. Users can set the time frame using
Preferences to perform specific tasks such as install or remove an
application.

Description

Privileges.app for macOS is designed to allow users to work as a
standard user for day-to-day use, by providing a quick and easy way to
get administrator rights when needed. When you do need admin rights, you
can get them by clicking on the Privileges icon in your Dock.

We believe all users, including all developers, can benefit from using
Privileges.app. Working as a standard user instead of an administrator
adds another layer of security to your Mac and is considered a security
best practice. Privileges.app helps enable users to act as
administrators of the system only when required.

Requirements

Privileges supports the following macOS versions:

     macOS 10.12.x
     macOS 10.13.x
     macOS 10.14.x
     macOS 10.15.x
