Hello,

I'm contacting you as part of the management of a macOS IT estate with an MDM (Mosyle), and I need to know which processes need to be on the application whitelist to be able to run GIMP and its features correctly?

Thank you very much

All the executables that are in the installed tree. What other answer do you expect?

And of course if users install add their own plugins, then the executables in their own Gimp profile.

You could ask the developers, although I think only one deals with MacOS A list here https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html

I use linux but as a reference a Gimp 3 installation in a very clean kubuntu 25.10 VM  pulls in 32 dependencies (list attached) and presumably they might require additional permissions.

Might not be as bad as that. With Gimp running the only "gimp-ish" process I see is script-fu.

It's a lot more than this. It is all the executables in lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/ and prehaps a few more for GEGL.

What's GEGL?
I just need aboutt that (a message from my MDM, Mosyle support):
"As mentioned, it seems that some additional process is being blocked that is preventing it from working as it should. Since our team cannot confirm which process is being blocked as it is not reported to us, we would recommend you to reach GIMP support to confirm which modules may be being blocked to have it allowed."

What is GEGL see: https://www.gegl.org/ Most of the Gimp 3 filters are now based on GEGL.

Guessing your MDM Mosyle is some sort of sand-boxing, so perhaps find someone to run the MacOS Gimp in a regular MacOS system and look at what processes are running: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ac...tr1001/mac But as Ofnuts pointed out might be more than that.

Not many MacOS users ever visit this forum.

To mention again. really for bugs but you could post your question for the Gimp developers on: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues
