Information

The macOS system must disable Privacy Setup services during Setup Assistant.

GROUP ID: V-277106

The prompt for Privacy Setup services during Setup Assistant must be disabled.

Organizations must apply organizationwide configuration settings. The macOS Privacy Setup services prompt guides new users through enabling their own specific privacy settings. This is not essential and, therefore, must be disabled to prevent the risk of individuals electing privacy settings with the potential to override organizationwide settings.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable Privacy Setup services during Setup Assistant by installing the "com.apple.SetupAssistant.managed" configuration profile.
