Force Enable Notifications on macOS for FileWave Kiosk

What

To ensure that notifications from the FileWave Kiosk and End User Notifications are consistently displayed on macOS devices, administrators can deploy an Apple Profile that forces notifications for the com.filewave.kiosk2 application. This profile enforces the display of notifications and prevents end users from disabling them, ensuring important messages and alerts are always visible to users.

Please note that in 15.5.0 the TCC profile that is built in to FileWave will handle this. You no longer need to create this Fileset and notifications will be enabled. We will archive this article after 16.0 releases.
