  • How to Disable Gatekeeper and Allow Apps from Anywhere in Macos Sierra
    How to Disable Gatekeeper and Allow Apps From Anywhere in macOS Sierra Gatekeeper, first introduced in OS X Mountain Lion, is a Mac security feature which prevents the user from launching potentially harmful applications. In macOS Sierra, however, Apple made some important changes to Gatekeeper that seemingly limit the choices of power users. But don’t worry, Gatekeeper can still be disabled in Sierra. Here’s how. Stand out at the party or promote your business with colorful powder coated and custom engraved Yeti tumblers from Perfect Etch. Traditionally, Gatekeeper offered three settings of increasing security: anywhere, App Store and identified developers, and App Store only. The first choice, as its name describes, allowed users to launch applications from any source, effectively disabling the Gatekeeper feature. The second choice allowed users to run apps from the Mac App Store as well as from software developers who have registered with Apple and securely sign their applications. Finally, the most secure setting limited users to running apps obtained from the Mac App Store only. While the secure options were good ideas for less experienced Mac users, power users found Gatekeeper to be too limiting and typically sought to disable it by setting it to “Anywhere.” In macOS Sierra, however, the “Anywhere” option is gone, leaving “App Store” and “App Store and identified developers” as the only two options. Disable Gatekeeper in macOS Sierra The Gatekeeper settings can be found in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. The Gatekeeper options are located beneath “All apps downloaded from:” with the choice of “Anywhere” missing. Thankfully, the “Anywhere” setting can be restored to Gatekeeper in Sierra with a Terminal command.

All of our products are designed to enable employees to be more creative, Getting Started productive and work in new ways, whether in the office or on the go. This aligns with how Deployment Steps employees want to work in today’s world—with better access to information, frictionless Support Options collaboration and sharing, and the freedom to stay connected and work from anywhere. Summary Setting up and deploying Mac computers in today’s business environment has never been easier. With key services from Apple, in concert with a third-party mobile device management (MDM) solution, your organization can easily deploy and support macOS devices at scale. If your organization has already deployed iOS devices internally, it’s likely that most infrastructure work needed to implement macOS is already complete. Recent improvements in macOS security, management and deployment allow an organization to transition from monolithic imaging and traditional directory binding to a seamless provisioning model and deployment process that centers around each user and relies almost exclusively on tools that are built into macOS. This document provides guidance on everything you need to deploy macOS at scale, from understanding your existing infrastructure to device management and streamlined provisioning. The topics covered in this document are described in greater detail in the online macOS Deployment Reference: help.apple.com/deployment/macos/ Getting Started Building a deployment strategy and rollout plan as well as evaluating any existing macOS use by employees are important initial steps in the deployment process.
