Allow non-admins to disable automatically joining a network

Hey, Our organization manages macOS devices, and users often experience their devices automatically connecting to previously saved networks due to auto-join being enabled. However, when they attempt to disable auto-join, it requires admin privileges. Is there a way to let non-admin users control this setting without IT intervention? Any insights would be appreciated!

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

MacOS AppCatalog - Download / Install progressbar

It would be really nice to have a progress bar for the macOS App Catalog. So when i click on the desired App i can see the installation progress and also a confirmation once it is done. Just like the Managed Software Update application for Munki. Also the "installed" banner is not really appealing.

Will there be changes to reflect the new profile customizations in Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur in policies? Will there be a roadmap to be able to import custom profile configurations in to a policy so that we can further lock down and customize the look and feel to the end user?
