Compliance - Provide temporary Device Admin to Mac users (JAMF) - Workflow Template

Receive a request over Slack for temporary assignment of admin permissions. Get approval from Security channel, update policy on Jamf.

Updated this week

This workflow template streamlines the process of granting temporary admin rights to Mac users, ensuring compliance and security. Initiated via Slack, it verifies user identity, gathers justification for admin access, and checks device assignment. Approval is sought from the IT Security channel, and if granted, admin rights are provisioned through JAMF for a limited time before automatic revocation. This ensures controlled access while maintaining operational efficiency.
