Profiles/MDM

I have recently begun to frequently get a message on my personally-owned MacBook Pro that says:


"Profiles/MDM wants to make changes."


How can I get rid of this?

What happens when you click on them? Any new info in them?


Try:

Manually update and remove configuration profiles

  1. Delete the configuration profile.
    • On iOS and iPadOS devices, go to Settings > General > Profiles to delete a configuration profile.
    • In macOS, from the Apple menu, choose System Preferences > Profiles.
  1. If the configuration profile requires a removal password, you can override the profile’s password by entering an administrator password. In the Profiles pane of System Preferences, hold down the Option key, then click Remove to authenticate as an administrator.
  2. Removing a configuration profile removes policies and all information (including mail accounts) associated with the profile.
  3. Above from : https://support.apple.com/guide/profile-manager/distribute-profiles-manually-pmdbd71ebc9/mac

The Provisioning one may a have been added by an app and maybe the Infinity one too.

Do you remember what app was installed right before they appeared?

If you go to About this Mac>Overview>System Report>Software> if you click on Installations you can find app listed alphabetically together with initial install date and update dates.
