Users must enroll their Mac in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) software.
User Approved MDM (UAMDM) enrollment or enrollment via Apple Business Manager (ABM)/Apple School Manager (ASM) is required to manage certain security settings. Currently these include:
* Allowed Kernel Extensions * Allowed Approved System Extensions * Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload * ExtensibleSingleSignOn * FDEFileVault
In macOS 11, UAMDM grants Supervised status on a Mac, unlocking the following MDM features, which were previously locked behind ABM:
* Activation Lock Bypass * Access to Bootstrap Tokens * Scheduling Software Updates * Query list and delete local users
Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce enrollment in mobile device management with the following command:
/usr/bin/profiles status -type enrollment | /usr/bin/awk -F: '/MDM enrollment/ {print $2}' | /usr/bin/grep -c "Yes (User Approved)"
If the result is not "1", this is a finding.
Configure the macOS system by ensuring that system is enrolled via UAMDM.
