Hi, I need to block the installation of custom apps on mac machines, I have them enrolled directly on intune, but I can't remove users from administrators to guarantee various permissions on the cli or on the app permissions.

I have already set the compliance policies that allow the installation of apps only from the app store, but I have that damned "Open Anyway" button that bypasses everything... how can I do it??

Kind Regards

    @Ismaele Giallombardo, Thanks for posting in Q&A. For your issue, you can set "Do not allow user to override Gatekeepe" to yes in endpoint protection to see if it can block.

    Hope the above information can help.
