# Custom Compliance Settings for macOS

Microsoft Intune supports custom compliance settings for macOS. As an admin, you can define compliance checks using scripts and JSON rules, similar to the existing support for Windows and Linux.

## What custom compliance enables

This capability lets you evaluate device configuration, security posture, and other custom attributes that are not covered by the built-in compliance settings. You author a discovery script that returns values from the Mac, then define JSON rules that specify the expected values used to determine compliance.

## Reporting

Results from custom compliance checks appear alongside standard compliance reporting in the Intune admin center, so administrators can monitor them together with built-in compliance settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intunemacadmins.com/complete-guide-macos-deployment/custom-compliance-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
