Unified Logs - Enable (show) Private Data

You can load this config profile locally with no issue, but this config profile needs to be signed before uploading or Jamf will break the configuration profile. You can sign a profile with something like:

/usr/bin/security cms -S -Z "$SIGNING_CERTIFICATE" -i "$UNSIGNED_PROFILE_PATH" -o "$SIGNED_PROFILE_PATH"

Testing:

First run the command:

log stream --predicate '(subsystem == "com.apple.AccountPolicy")'

Then unlock a system preference pane, you should not see any "<private>" entries and see full details about user and record type.
