Exceptions:


Each GLOBAL - Exceptions - FUNCTION group includes a SITE - Exceptions - FUNCTION group in your site which will exclude computers based on the value of EA "Exception-FUNCTION"


Example:

ENGR - Exceptions - Nudge

uses Extension Attribute: Exception-Nudge


To exclude a device from the Nudge global policies, set the value of Exception-Nudge to "Yes"

Leave Exception-Nudge blank or set to "No" to not be excluded


Since the exception group is in your Site you can edit it to add other criteria if needed.


Screen Saver


Using the standard Global configuration profiles, Screen Saver settings are controlled by EA "Screen Saver".  It can have a value of 15m, 30m, 60m, 120m, or Unconfigured
Using "Unconfigured" means the screen saver can be turned off or set to any timeout on each computer.

To be excluded from ALL Screen Saver configuration settings, set Extension Attribute "Exception-Screen Saver" to "Yes" or edit SITE - Exceptions - Screen Saver if needed.


------------------------------


The following policy runs at Check-In, but does not have an exceptions group.  It is for creating 'inventory.plist' on each Mac in /Library/Application Support/utexas, storing  information from Jamf such
as Site, Asset Tag, Assigned User, Department Code to be used by policies with scripts, including Provisioning, Nessus, Code42 and more.
