Because you need access to PowerShell cmdlets to generate your supplemental policy, you should create and manage your policies on a non-S mode device. Once the policy has been uploaded to Intune, before deploying the policy more broadly, assign it to a single test Windows 10 in S mode device to verify expected functioning.

 Your supplemental policy can be used to significantly relax the S mode base policy, but there are security trade-offs you must consider in doing so. For example, you can use a signer rule to trust an external signer, but that authorizes all apps signed by that certificate, which may include apps you don't want to allow as well.
 
 Instead of authorizing signers external to your organization, Intune has functionality to make it easier to authorize existing applications by using signed catalogs. This feature doesn't require repackaging or access to the source code. It works for apps that may be unsigned or even signed apps when you don't want to trust all apps that may share the same signing certificate.
 
-The basic process is to generate a catalog file for each app using Package Inspector, then sign the catalog files using a custom PKI. To authorize the catalog signing certificate in the supplemental policy, use the **Add-SignerRule** PowerShell cmdlet as shown earlier in step 1 of the [Policy authorization process](#policy-authorization-process). After that, use the [Standard process for deploying apps through Intune](#standard-process-for-deploying-apps-through-intune) outlined earlier. For more information on generating catalogs, see [Deploy catalog files to support WDAC](deploy-catalog-files-to-support-windows-defender-application-control.md).

For more information on generating catalogs, see [Deploy catalog files to support WDAC](deploy-catalog-files-to-support-wdac.md).
 
 > [!NOTE]
 > Every time an app updates, you need to deploy an updated catalog. Try to avoid using catalog files for applications that auto-update, and direct users not to update applications on their own.
