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

Updated over a week ago

The "Compliance - Provide Temporary Device Admin to Mac Users (JAMF)" workflow template streamlines the process of granting temporary admin rights to Mac users. Initiated via Slack, it verifies user identity, gathers justification for the request, and identifies associated devices. The workflow seeks approval from the IT Security channel, and if granted, temporarily assigns admin rights through JAMF, automatically revoking them after a set period. This ensures compliance and security while facilitating necessary administrative tasks.
