TMA-INTUNE-MACOS-2.14.2.1.2.2
Ensure "Allow Transcription Summary" is set to "Blocked"
Description
Leveraging Apple Intelligence, the Notes app can analyze written text transcripts generated from audio recordings, such as meetings, lectures, or internal discussions— to automatically produce condensed, AI-driven summaries of the content. 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 Declarative Device Management (DDM) heading; Under the Intelligence Settings subheading; Under Apps then Notes; Verify that Allow Transcription Summary is present and set to Blocked. On the device: Double-click Management Profile; Under the Device Declarations section; Click Intelligence Settings; Confirm Allow Notes Transcription Summary is set to No
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Intune admin center: Select Declarative Device Management (DDM) then Intelligence Settings; Expand Apps then expand Notes; Check Allow Transcription Summary; On the left side of the page set Allow Transcription Summary to Blocked; Verify that Allow Transcription Summary is present and set to Blocked
