This deployment package provisions Node.js (and its package manager, npm), an essential runtime for frontend and backend developers across the organization.
- Detection: Executes a sub-shell command (
brew list node) to verify if Node.js is already installed in the user's local Homebrew cellar. - Privilege Dropping: Because Intune runs as
root(machine context) but Homebrew requires user-level permissions, the script dynamically identifies the logged-in console user and drops privileges viasudo -u. - Remediation: Installs the
nodeformula silently in the background, ensuring developers have access to the latest LTS build immediately upon login.
- Upload script:
install-node.sh - Run script as signed-in user: No
⚠️ (The script must start as root to execute its internal privilege-dropping logic securely)
