This article explains new user data protections in macOS Mojave 10.14 or later, which are managed by Apple's expanded security framework, Transparency Consent and Control (TCC). Organizations can use mobile device management (MDM) to remotely manage these security preferences with Apple's new Privacy Preferences Policy Control payload on macOS 10.14 or later.
Note:
Starting with Jamf Pro 10.9, you can configure the Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile as a separate payload in computer configuration profiles. This payload allows you to configure settings to allow or deny access to applications and services within a target computer's Security & Privacy pane (macOS 12 or earlier) or Privacy & Security pane (macOS 13 or later).
