Enabling Automatic Security and Privacy Update for Mac

When upgrading to macOS Catalina 10.15, if you want the Agent to record screens on Mac endpoints, you'll need to install a new Configuration Profile and set the Recording Policy option. Then enable the Enable Automatic Security and Privacy Update from the ObserveIT Web Console.

This option is available from version 7.9 only.

This is due to the Apple's upgraded privacy and protection policy.

(If you do not enable screen recording, screen captures are not recorded, only meta-data is recorded.)

  1. From the ObserveIT Web Console, from the Configuration tab, select Endpoint ManagementRecording Policies.

  2. In the Stealth and Privacy Policy section, select Enable Automatic Security and Privacy Update.

    This allows the ObserveIT Agent to update the Security & Privacy options (in macOS System Preferences) automatically.
