How do I deploy the GoTo for Teams desktop plugin on Mac via DMG?
IT administrators can deploy the GoTo for Teams desktop plugin for Mac to multiple machines and users using the DMG.
Install in /Applications or ~/Applications
The app can be installed in two main modes: per-user, or per-machine.
| Install in /Applications | Install in ~/Applications |
|---|---|
| All users on the machine use the same installation. | Each user on a shared machine has their own installation. |
| The user needs to be an administrator to update the application. | The auto-update does not require admin rights.
Note: See information below on how IT admins can ensure this.
|
| Updates to the app apply for all users on the machine. | Updates apply to the user installation only. |
Ensuring users can update the app on Mac
IT administrators can choose to disable the automatic updates and roll out updates manually. For more information see How do I control automatic updates for GoTo for Teams IT admin deployments?.
- If the user running the app does not have write permissions to the app (GoTo for Teams plugin.app) or the folder containing the app, updates will not be installed.
- If the user running the app has write permissions to the app and the folder containing the app, updates will be installed normally.
To ensure that users can update the app, we recommend ensuring that users have write permissions to the app and the folder containing the app. Write permissions should include GoTo for Teams plugin.app and all of its subfolders and files. This can be done by creating a permissions group for all users and granting ownership and write access to that permissions group.
