Allow PLIST files for configuration for Corporate Environments

[Hosko-xyz]

We are looking at this option for some of our staff who have a requirement to periodically enable the Mac to not go to sleep (presenting..etc). The Indefinitely default option however causes some issues when it comes to ISMS controls.

Would it be possible to (control via Plist for example in JAMF or other MDM)

1. Have it so that the indefinitely option is disabled in the app via configuration
2. Set times that the app can be set up to (example, 1 hour, 2 hours or 8 hours) which then disables itself after that period of time

This would assist with compliance for organisation who have this app (we can see this in the JAMF catalogue) but not sure if there is a Plist option we can use to control these options?

Many thanks!

Hi, that's a great suggestion! I have no experience with MDM-based managed customizations, but I will try to find some documentation for how to implement these.

It all sounds doable if it's just plist-based: a flag to disable the activation durations customization in the settings, an override for the default durations and a flag to disable the Indefinite duration.

I'll let you know here when I've found a good strategy to implement this. Since I don't have access to an MDM-managed Mac, any testing help will be appreciated 😃.
