TMA-INTUNE-MACOS-2.14.2.3
Ensure "Allow Image Playground" is set to "Blocked"
Description
Apple Intelligence Image Playground is an AI-powered feature integrated across the operating system that enables users to generate images by combining concepts, text descriptions, and content from the photo library. This functionality is available via the standalone Image Playground app and is integrated into other applications, such as Messages and Freeform. 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; Verify that Allow Image Playground is present and set to Blocked. On the device: Double-click Management Profile; Under the Device Declarations section; Click Intelligence Settings; Confirm Allow Image Playground 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; Check Allow Image Playground; On the left side of the page set Allow Image Playground to Blocked; Verify that Allow Image Playground is present and set to Blocked
