Silently uninstall system extension whitelisted by MDM

Hi, we've come to notice that macOS will always do a password prompt even if our app is trying to deactivate our own system extension. There are other posts on this topic as well and we're probably going to have to accept this fact.

However, a separate scenario that's bothering us is that, even if we have a MDM profile that whitelists our system extension (so that activating it doesn't require user interaction), we still get password prompts when trying to uninstall it. We're going to file a support ticket for this but before that we want to see if we can get some quicker response here, is this the current expected behavior or maybe are we doing something wrong in our MDM profile?

Thanks!

I am also facing the same problem. Is it possible to whitelist uninstalling system extension by MDM?
Any one can help?

Is it possible to [allow] uninstalling system extension by MDM?

No. I dug into this a few weeks back and it is, alas, a significant hole in the sysex story (r. 67923914).
