# Automating Parallels Desktop Initial Setup with a Configuration Profile
When you deploy Parallels Desktop to Macs, their operating system normally prompts users to authorize access to various sensitive folders (Documents, Downloads, etc.), devices (such as camera or microphone), and functions (screen and audio recording). For a smoother, more streamlined deployment, accepting some of those requests can be automated using Jamf’s PPPC utility, which is available [here](https://github.com/jamf/PPPC-Utility/).
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Not all such requests can be pre-authorized. According to Apple's policy, access to certain items, such as the camera and microphone, cannot be granted via a profile. For more information on Apple's rules regarding configuration profiles, please see [this page](https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf).
{% endhint %}
The utility generates a configuration profile that can be added to the deployment package to pre-authorize privacy requests.
For more information on creating, configuring, issuing, and using a PPPC configuration profile, please refer to Jamf's guide [here](https://github.com/jamf/PPPC-Utility/blob/master/README.md).

## 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.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-business-administrators-guide/deploying-parallels-desktop-for-mac-business-edition/alternative-mass-deployment-via-deployment-package/deploying-the-package-to-macs/example-jamf-pro/automating-parallels-desktop-initial-setup-with-a-configuration-profile.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
