Hi

Is there a way to prevent users from downloading the apps from apps store, or even restrict access to app store completely?

Thanks

is there a way to do it on a enterprise level rather then locally to the machine

I mean via an MDM tool

Thanks

Have you looked into Jamf?

Have you looked into managing Parental Controls remotely?
Manage parental controls from another Mac

i see what you mean, but i just wanted to push it out to all mac from a central location in one go.

Is there a script i can push out or run to set the Apps store restriction?

The most I have personally had to manage is in a lab, where I had physical access to the machines.

I did see some comments from people successfully using MDM profiles with Jamf to restrict app store installs, but those were from 2015. I don't know if something has changed since then.
