macOS Deployment
These are the macOS deployment methods
Online Installers
The online installer is a stub that fetches the latest version of the Prisma Access Browser and installs it.
The online installer automatically retrieves the latest version of the
browser from either the Stable or Long-Term Support (LTS) channel. The browser
package includes an integrated updater that applies updates according to the
"Deployments" settings specified in the policy manager under "Browser
Customizations." Administrators can configure upgrade requirements and scheduling
per individual users or user groups by adjusting the relevant policies.
macOS Installer
- This is the standard macOS installer:
- macOS Installer.
macOS LTS
- The LTS installer uses the features, but allows you to delay the installation.
- macOS LTS Installer
Offline Installer
Offline installers consist of a standalone installation file that enables browser
installation on systems without an internet connection. The development team updates
and releases the installers with each new browser version. The version feeds contain
only recent and supported browser versions. We strongly recommend that you install
the latest version to ensure access to all security updates.
macOS
- You can install the browser while offline using a universal DMG installation.
Version Feed
Browser Updates
The browser follows a weekly update schedule aligned with Chrome’s release
cycle, which includes weekly security patches and a major version update with new
features approximately every month.
Administrators can select between two release channels through the
deployment policy:
- Stable Channel (default): Receives weekly updates that include both new features and security patches.
- Long-Term Support (LTS) Channel: Receives weekly security patches and new Prisma Access Browser and Chromium features only during the monthly major version updates.
The Deployment policy in the management console allows customization
of the deployment delay for new features and configuration of the update enforcement
schedule.
Updates downloaded during the update process are applied at the next
browser start or restart. Active browser sessions will display a notification
prompting users to restart their browsers to apply the update.
macOS
For macOS devices, browser updates are currently managed within the browser
context. The update process initiates only while the browser is running and operates
using the active user's permissions.
This process will be updated with the upcoming introduction of the Prisma Access Browser Updater for macOS.
