Walkthrough

Adds a macOS “Unlock user account” host action. The backend authorizes eligible roles, validates host state, queues and deduplicates an Apple MDM command, sends a push notification, and records activity. The frontend adds username submission, eligibility checks, activity-feed entries, command-result messaging, and refresh behavior. Tests cover authorization, validation, command delivery, concurrency, modal behavior, permissions, and activity rendering.

Possibly related issues

• fleetdm/fleet#51089 — Directly tracks the implemented “Unlock user account” action.

Possibly related PRs

• fleetdm/fleet#50595 — Both add host activity types and propagate activity details through Fleet.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1ee24

The PR adds a scoped macOS account-unlock workflow with authorization, audit logging, API, UI, and automated test coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

59-123: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for two untested branches of the deduplication logic.

The test covers reuse, terminal states, and per-username separation. Two branches stay untested:

1. Cross-host isolation. A pending unlock command for another host must not be reused for this host. This checks the neq.id = ? filter.
2. The malformed-payload branch in server/datastore/mysql/nanomdm_storage.go lines 342-346. Insert a nano_commands row with request_type = 'UnlockUserAccount' and a body that plist.Unmarshal cannot decode, then confirm the method enqueues a new command instead of reusing it.

Add a case where enrollment permissions are not found.

Service.UnlockUserAccount defaults accessRights to apple_mdm.MDMAccessRightAll when GetHostMDMAppleEnrollmentPermissions returns a not-found error or a nil result (server/service/mdm.go lines 4548-4555). No case exercises that default. Add a case where the mock returns (nil, notFound) and expect a successful unlock.

Hey @moojomoore, thank you so much for the contribution!

After reviewing, we've decided not to move forward with this one right now. Our current focus is on getting existing features to Complete maturity, and this change falls outside of those priorities.

I'm setting this to draft per our process for community PRs. I will put your feature request to the side for us to review at a later time.
