Hi Lars86,

I think there is no built-in policy available for it right now. I thought you maybe can achieve something with a custom profile. But from what I see in the reference documentation there is nothing available: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf

So, I think it is left to a script to enable it. Support for scripting with macOS and Intune is announced to be available at some time later. Check this Ignite 2019 session for details:

So finally, I guess you have to wait a bit for scripting support or you build a custom app which does the enablement for you and convert the custom app to a .intunemac (similar to the .intunewin) and deploy it via Intune.

see details here:
