Disable Find My Mac on macOS devices

The following Payload helps IT Admins to restrict access to the "Find My Mac" option on Mac devices. The "Find My Mac" option is available to the user(s) when they log into their iCloud/iTunes account on a Mac.

This Payload restricts the user(s) from changing the state of the "Find My Mac" option the moment they log in using Apple ID, or, in case the "Find My Mac" option is already turned on, the user will not be able to disable it.

1. Copy the contents below directly and add them to Apple Configurations > Custom Configurations for Mac, or click here to download the file and import it.

2. Follow our guide on how to add the Custom Payload in the Apple Configurations & deploy it to devices.
