Configuring a system policy managed setting
This setting allows you to disable the contextual menu that macOS users can display in the Finder application. The contextual menu allows macOS users to bypass system policy restrictions, such as rules regarding which applications macOS users can install, execute, or open through a contextual menu
Only one policy is allowed per macOS device. You can define multiple policies and assign a priority level to each, such that Ivanti EPMM can determine which policy it sends to macOS devices.
This policy is supported on devices running macOS 10.10 or supported newer versions.

- Select Add New > iOS and macOS > macOS > System Policy Managed.
