    To those of you that commented on this feature I apologize for not allowing your comments to go through and get posted. I didn't realize that they were stuck as "pending" on this board also wasn't being notified. Another partner just brought this to my attention. :-( 

    We will revisit this internally and see how it can be prioritized against other features that are in the works. We definitely see the need and value of having a MAC agent but also have to weigh it against some features that might have a broader impact. We are currently organizing our 2021 development plans and already have several very significant features scheduled for release in Q1 with a major feature release and announcement which will come on 3/31/2021 so I don't anticipate that project moving forward until at least Q2 but as I said we will revisit this and further discuss internally.

    What's the overall feasibility of developing an agent for macOS? Catlina has introduced a number of security and privacy changes to protect and benefit end users but the platform is also proving more difficult for MSPs to manage.

    It's a shame that this has not gotten any response nor further traction. Having a macOS equivalent agent would be worth gold.

    We constantly picking up companies that are issuing mac and windows os's. It would be great to stay yes we can remove the admin rights on MacOS there are at least 15 endpoints in one customer that are MacOS and we cant sell AutoElevate to

    Todd –

    We're definitely looking forward to your team revisiting this and are optimistic on it becoming a reality. 🤞
    This would be a game changer in handling PAM and macOS devices in the workplace.

    I know we're right on the verge of the 3/31 release but please keep us posted on any updates as it relates to this feature request.

    Good Day Todd, 

    It's surprising that this has been open so long, are you aware you have competition that has already filled this void?

    Would it be possible to get an update as to whether this is a priority for AutoElevate? We currently have clients that we need this feature for. 

    In an age where companies allow both Windows and Mac devices, AutoElevate should look at a cross-platform solution or risk being left behind by their loyal clients.

    Regards,

    Ricci

    Todd, could your team not take advantage of something such as the open source tool, Privileges? I was just looking at this and if nothing else we might make some adaptations to it and pair it with our MDM since the macOS agent has not yet been prioritized.

    I've requested this before directly, but I'm still heavily in support of getting macOS support in AutoElevate so we can have a consistent experience across platforms with clients!

    To have a unified security stance, MAC support is an absolute must have.
