Creating a Smart Computer Group to Target Devices with an installed PPPC Profile

Updated over 10 months ago

Description

Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) profiles must be installed on devices before deploying the app. By creating a smart computer group to filter devices with the profile installed, we can ensure the app is deployed only after the profile is in place.

Prerequisite: Have a PPPC profile configured. If assistance is needed for the PPPC profile creation, please review Configuring Privacy Preferences Policy Control with PPPC Utility.

Installing Privacy Preferences Policy Control Profile

  1. Make a note of the PPPC profile display name that has been configured. In this example, we will use "Terminal PPPC" as the display name.

  2. In Jamf Pro, navigate to Computers > Smart Computer Groups > +New.

  3. Give the group a display name. Example: Terminal PPPC profile present.

  4. Click Criteria and click +Add.

  5. Click Show advanced criteria.

  6. Locate Profile Name and click choose.

    1. Under Operator, select has.

    2. To populate the value, click the ellipsis icon & select the profile name. We can also manually enter the profile display name under the value, but it's important to ensure that the profile name matches exactly.

    3. Please note: If the configuration profile name is not listed, the profile is likely not installed on a managed device yet.

  7. Click Save.

We can now use the Smart Computer Group "Terminal PPPC Profile Present" to scope policies and other configurations.
