Creating macOS Filters Manually

In cases when Privilege Manager does not have enough information from the discovery process on a macOS endpoint, filters have to be created manually.

To manually find granular information required for targeting applications in Privilege Manager on a macOS endpoint,

  1. Right-click the target application and select Show Package Contents.
  2. Navigate to Contents | Info.plist, this gives you a coded list of items that you can match into the details page of your Filter.

For example, the highlighted section below can be entered into the Bundled Identifier line item when creating a Firefox filter.
