Dynamic installation of Box Drive
I was tasked with making the Box Drive installer available for deployment via the Jamf Casper Suite on macOS. Software deployment policies from Casper run as the Unix root user - not the logged in human user - so any user folder modifications during the package install will be made to the root user's home folder. On macOS, the root home folder is located outside of /Users, hidden away at /private/var/root. However, after the Casper deployment policy runs, a new root folder is found in the Users folder where it doesn't belong. That root folder doesn't belong there and could cause some observant users concern that their computers have been compromised.
