# Installing Collector profile in Jamf for macOS

## Overview <a href="#installingcollectorprofileinjamfformacos-overview" id="installingcollectorprofileinjamfformacos-overview"></a>

Jamf is a company developing a mobile device management system for Apple devices used to streamline the process of configuration and the setting up of new devices. Using the Collector profile in Jamf Pro, securely install Collector on a wide variety of macOS devices with remote actions.

## Creating the Collector configuration profile in Jamf <a href="#installingcollectorprofileinjamfformacos-creatingthecollectorconfigurationprofileinjamf" id="installingcollectorprofileinjamfformacos-creatingthecollectorconfigurationprofileinjamf"></a>

* Click on the **Computers** icon and select **Configuration Profiles**.
* Scroll down to **Privacy Preferences Policy Control** (PPPC), select it, and click the **Configure** button.
* Fill in the **Identifier** and **Code Requirement** fields in the **App Access** section.

<summary>Getting the Identifier and Code Requirement values for nxtsvc</summary>

To obtain the **Identifier**, run the following shell command on devices where Nexthink Collector is installed:

```
sudo codesign -dv /Library/Application\ Support/Nexthink/nxtsvc.app
```

This displays a response with the value of the **Identifier,** `com.nexthink.nxtsvcapp` for example. Copy that value to the **Identifier** input in Jamf.

To obtain the **Code Requirement** run the following shell command on devices where Nexthink Collector is installed:

```
sudo codesign -dr - /Library/Application\ Support/Nexthink/nxtsvc.app
```

Copy the result of the designated output to the **Code Requirement** field in Jamf.

<summary>Getting the Identifier and Code Requirement values for nxtcod (optional)</summary>

The `nxtcod` binary also requires full disk access when remote actions need to access special folders or network shares.

To obtain the **Identifier**, run the following shell command on devices where Nexthink Collector is installed:

```
sudo codesign -dv /Library/Application\ Support/Nexthink/nxtcod.app
```

This displays a response with the value of the **Identifier,** for example, `com.nexthink.nxtcod`. Copy that value to the **Identifier** input in Jamf.

To obtain the **Code Requirement** run the following shell command on devices where Nexthink Collector is installed:

```
sudo codesign -dr - /Library/Application\ Support/Nexthink/nxtcod.app
```

Copy the result of the designated output to the **Code Requirement** field in Jamf.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/~/changes/Sh4xqs4GDClkDKT9Hvux/getting-started/installing-collector/installing-collector-on-macos/installing-collector-profile-in-jamf-for-macos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
