macOS Managed Login Items

On macOS, you can use your MDM to configure the Pult Agent as a managed login item. This ensures the agent starts automatically at user login and prevents users from disabling it.

Why This Is Needed

Unlike Windows (where the MSI installer registers auto-start via the registry), macOS requires a separate MDM configuration profile to manage login items. Without this profile, users could disable the agent from starting at login.

Bundle Identifier

The Pult Agent's bundle identifier is: com.pult.agent

This identifier is used in all MDM configuration profiles below.

Microsoft Intune

1. In the Intune admin center, go to Devices → Configuration → Create → New Policy.
2. Select macOS as the platform and Settings Catalog as the profile type.
3. Search for Service Management -- Managed Login Items.
4. Add a Login Item entry:
   • Rule Type: Bundle Identifier
   • Rule Value: com.pult.agent
   • Comment: "Pult Presence Agent"
5. Assign the profile to your target device group.

Kandji

1. In the Kandji dashboard, go to Library.
2. Add a Login & Background Items profile.
3. Add a new item:
   • Bundle Identifier: com.pult.agent
4. Assign the profile to the appropriate Blueprint.

Jamf Pro

1. In Jamf Pro, go to Computers → Configuration Profiles → New.
2. Add a Login Items payload.
3. Add the Pult Agent:
   • Bundle Identifier: com.pult.agent
   • Action: Add to managed login items
4. Scope the profile to target devices.

Verification

After the profile is deployed:

1. On a target Mac, open System Settings → General → Login Items.
2. The Pult Agent should appear in the list of managed items, marked as managed by your organization.
3. The user should not be able to disable it.
