About the Don’t Allow Guest User to Log In Parameter
This parameter disables the Guest user account on Mac computers, which is considered a security vulnerability because it grants access without login credentials.How It Works
When enabled, Iru Endpoint will ensure the Guest user feature is disabled. During each check-in, Iru Endpoint will verify and adjust settings to the disabled state should they change. By default, macOS allows a Guest user account that grants access to the general macOS system and apps without login credentials. The Guest user is considered a security vulnerability because it does not have a password. It’s recommended that the Guest user account be disabled on all macOS systems unless there is a demonstrated need.Enabling this Parameter
