Where can the restriction settings deployed by Jamf be stored?

The restriction settings deployed by Jamf are indeed stored in a hidden file located in the /Library/Application Support/JAMF/ directory, specifically as .jmf_settings.json. This location ensures that the settings are not easily accessible to users, maintaining system integrity and security. The use of a hidden file allows Jamf to manage these settings more efficiently without user interference, contributing to a smoother configuration and management process.

The choice of this specific file format and location reflects best practices for managing sensitive configurations within MacOS environments, where security and proper data handling are critically important. Storing configuration settings in a centralized location allows Jamf to easily apply, modify, or remove restrictions as needed, thereby helping administrators maintain strict control over end-user environments.
