Create a Gatekeeper configuration in Apple Business

macOS includes a technology called Gatekeeper, which is designed to help ensure that, by default, only trusted software runs on a user’s Mac. Trusted software refers to apps that have been signed by the App Store or signed by a registered developer and notarized by Apple. Both the App Store review process and the notarization pipeline are designed to ensure that apps contain no known malware. Sometimes using even a benign app triggers the loading of a malicious plug-in without the user’s knowledge. Gatekeeper protects against the distribution of these malicious plug-ins. Sometimes plug-ins are automatically loaded alongside an app. To avoid loading a possibly malicious plug-in, Gatekeeper opens those apps from randomized, read-only locations.

In Apple Business, sign in with a user whose role is Organization Administrator.
To view roles and permissions, see Intro to roles and permissions.
In your browser, choose Devices > Configurations > All Configurations.
Select All Configurations, select Add next to Gatekeeper , then enter a name for the configuration.
Select one of the following:
- Allow apps from the App Store: Select to allow only apps that have been downloaded from the App Store.
- App Store and identified developers: Select to allow only apps that have been downloaded from the App Store and from developers identified by Apple.
- Apps from anywhere: Select to allow any apps to launch on the Mac, regardless of where they originated.
Choose whether to allow a user to use the contextual menu in the Finder to open an app that Gatekeeper would prevent.
Select Save.
