Originally created by @robertgendler on GitHub.

SC-15 is on a low, moderate, high baseline but is inherently met as applications require user approval to use the camera, on macOS systems(and specifically T2) the camera is not able to be enabled remotely, and the light indicates when the camera is in use.

Control Description
The information system:
a. Prohibits remote activation of collaborative computing devices with the following exceptions: [Assignment: organization-defined exceptions where remote activation is to be allowed]; and

b. Provides an explicit indication of use to users physically present at the devices.

The rule file is labeled, SC-15(3), which is not required on any baseline.

Remove os_camera_disable from low, moderate, high as it may only be something that an organization defined additional rule.
