Customize the System Features on your Mac

Set up a new profile on the Mac with limited access to specific apps and content.

Tech Lockdown Team

Within your profile, there are several settings that we strongly recommend enabling. These settings will help you by disabling different features that can enable bypass.

Disable Guest Mode Accounts on Your Mac

Guest mode is a common bypass technique, so it should be disabled using the MDM.

Search for "guest" in the search bar to quickly navigate to Energy Saver, FileVault, Time Saver.... Select the Guest Account tab and check Disable Guest Account.

Disable Users & Groups on Your Mac

Although Mobile Device Management settings apply to all user accounts, it's recommended that you restrict the ability to create new user accounts.

Navigate to System Preferences in iMazing, select the Disabled tab, then add Users & Groups to the Disabled Preferences Panes table.

After you distribute this profile, you'll notice the Users & Groups section in System Preferences is greyed out.

If you try to navigate to Users & Groups from the search bar you'll get an error.

Disable Profiles on Your Mac

Within the first 30 days of managing a device, the profiles panel will allow you to remove the initial MDM profile to revoke device management. If you want to prevent this, add Profiles to the Disabled Preference Panes table in iMazing > System Preferences > Disabled.
