So, if anyone knows how to effectively disable the Onedrive background service it would be of great help.

I need to temporarily grant admin rights to standard user accounts on these devices for a brief period to perform tasks that require admin access.

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!

Hi all, I’ve been using a custom configuration profile to allowlist a bunch of applications in all the user accounts on the device. However, after applying the policy, I switched to another standard account, and the device started showing endless popups from Safari Support saying it’s blocked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

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.

Disabling Office Macros

My company requires Office Macros are disabled. For Winodws and MacOS, this is not a built in setting in Hexnode policies. I cannot find any Powershell scripts or batch files to run and enable this setting. Can this be built in?

I have been a long-time user of Microsoft LAPS and would like to have similar functionality in Hexnode across different operating systems.
