UpdateKit handles packages (pkg) files. Anything you can package, you can pass to installer via UpdateKit/UpdateCore. You should also investigate Munki before writing your own solution.

| Jun 19, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | Graham Miln | Yes, you could wrap up UpdateKit to handle installation for non-administrators of acceptable packages. The wrapped UpdateKit would need to be installed by an administrator to grant the initial rights. | |
| Jun 19, 2020 at 12:26 | comment | added | theappledev | is it possible to use helper to identify which app being installed currently and grant right?in my case standard users should be able to install any whitelisted 3rd party app without admin credentials | |

I have extended the answer to mention a SMJobBless approach and linked to a sample project.

No, that information is not available in the request. I suspect Apple's engineers would consider the information a possible security leak. A possible solution from Apple would check for a system.install.pkg.<bundle of pkg> before a more generic right check.
