Hello I am trying to block the Safari web browser on our macOS devices. I am using Google Santa installed on user devices and pushing profile configurations via Intune in an attempt to block certain applications. I've had success blocking other applications, but not Safari.

I'm looking for help in determining how I can block Safari with Google Santa. I'm mostly confused regarding the exact path that Safari resides in and the proper way to format the path using the regex required for Santa.

Paths Used:

/Applications/Safari.App/

/System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app

/System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

  • /Applications/Safari.App/
  • /System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app
  • /System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

Regex:

^/Applications/Safari.app/.*$

^/System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app/.*

  • ^\/Applications\/Safari\.app\/.*$
  • ^\/System\/Cryptexes\/App\/System\/Applications\/Safari\.app\/.*

The profiles are successfully applyingapplied, but Safari remains unblocked. FYI I am not useusing a server with Google Santa, just simply applying profile configurations to end use-use devices. Any help is much appreciated.
