TMA-INTUNE-MACOS-2.12.2.1
Ensure "Disable Override" is set to "True"
Description
This setting disables the contextual menu option in Finder that allows users to bypass Gatekeeper application verification by right-clicking and selecting "Open" on unsigned applications. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune macOS policy setting that cannot be read from the endpoint with a script, so TMAegis lists it as a manual review item with the audit steps (the policy must be inspected in the Intune admin center or on the managed device).
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
macOS: Intune admin center: Expand the System Policy Control heading; Under the System Policy Managed subheading; Verify that Disable Override is present and set to True. On the device: Double-click com.apple.systempolicy.managed Profile; Under the Details section; Confirm Open untrusted apps via Finder is set to Disallow
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Intune admin center: Select System Policy Control then System Policy Managed; Check Disable Override; On the left side of the page set Disable Override to True; Verify that Disable Override is present and set to True
