Requirements

S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. (or just super) enforces macOS updates and upgrades via multiple workflows that vary based on the system's current macOS version and CPU architecture. At this time super does not support Mac App Store updates or Studio Display Firmware Updates.

Mac Computers With Intel

• macOS 11 or newer.
• The super script must run with system (root) privileges, but otherwise no additional credentials or MDM service is required.

Mac Computers With Apple Silicon

• The super script must run with system (root) privileges.
• To enforce automatic macOS updates or upgrades via local authentication requires providing super with the local credentials of an existing account.
• To enforce automatic macOS updates or upgrades via Jamf Pro MDM requires macOS 11.5 or newer, Jamf Pro 10.35 or newer, and providing super with Jamf Pro API credentials.

If no credentials are provided tosuper then macOS updates and upgrades can not be enforced on Mac computers with Apple silicon. In this case super prompts the user to provide their local account password.
