Privacy Preferences Policy Control (TCC)
Description
Apple's TCC payload was introduced in FileWave 13 and controls the Privacy section of the Security & Privacy Preference. Since it was controlling the Security & Privacy tab, it was included in one single Security & Privacy Payload, when creating the Fileset. This, however, reduces flexibility of Privacy Payload distribution. FileWave 13.1 has addressed this.
Information
FileWave 13.1 separates the Privacy TCC payload from the Security & Privacy Preference in our Profile Editor, providing two Security & Privacy Payloads
Security & Privacy - iOS and macOS (10.7+)
Including the tabs: General (macOS only), FileVault (macOS only), Firewall and Privacy
Security & Privacy - macOS (10.14+)
Only includes the additional TCC Payload from within Privacy
Upgrading to FileWave 13.1
For any existing payloads, created in 13.0.x, that included TCC Privacy Payloads, during migration to FileWave 13.1+ the Profile will be converted and will now show both Security & Privacy Payloads. It is highly recommended that two separate Profiles are created instead; one containing the General, FileVault and Firewall and the other containing the Privacy TCC Payload.
With a separate TCC Privacy Payload, it is then possible to deliver multiple Privacy Payloads, providing greater granular control.
