macOS Catalina and scripts that asks for authorization

Question

I until Mojave I was used to install some kind of software using Kace Online Shell scripts with commands like the following:

sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg MyApplication-x86_64.pkg -target /

starting from Catalina, the same script with the same application failed. If I run the same script directly from the bash I get this window

and I guess this is the reason why the script fails. It does not have enough permissions.

Is there a way to get rid of this? I know that I would need a MDM, but I need to push a critical software before people upgrade to Big Sur.

Thanks

Answer

You need to install a privacy profile to give scripts the correct access. Here's a utility that will generate them for you:

Also, the KACE client already runs in the root context, so there is no need to prepend commands in scripts with sudo.
