I am attempting to get santa up and running on just one computer for demonstration purposes so i've opted to not set up the sync server.
I suspect the problem lies with installing the profiles. The first configuration profile installs fine but the TCC and system extension profiles return a "The profile must originate from a user approved MDM server.".

To do this myself I'd have to be enrolled in the apple developer program. Is it possible to install these without program access?

Thanks alot for any help.

Here are some common troubleshooting logs for if i have misdiagnosed the issue:
