Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to find a way to suppress the new account setup assistant when logging into accounts for the first time. I'm currently using DEP with a pre-stage deployment profile to bypass the initial setup assistant and log in straight to the administrator account. When I create a users account, be it through Users & Groups or Jamf Connect, I'm greeted by the new account setup IE) Accessibility, Data & Privacy, Touch ID & Theme. 

Is there any way to skip this when signing into new accounts the first time?

Thank you for your help!

I believe @aaronpolley has the most recent take on it in the „blogosphere” with macOS Setup Assistant Preferences (Skip Screens) blog post 👍.

Download iMazing Profile Editor from the Mac app store and use the built-in Skip Setup Assitant payload.

Hi Kyle,

I've just tried ou this iMazing profile Editor. It didn't skip the Siri setup, but did do the others. I even signed the configuration profile.


Thank you @bartlomiejsojka. I am going to investigate this route for Big Sur and see what happens as this will skip the new account setup specifically. 

Hey @KyleEricson, I'm currently skipping all the OOB setup assistant, do you know if the iMazing Editor will conflict with that?

No shouldn't be an issue @Levi_

I had gotten another one for Siri from Rich Trouton.

@KyleEricson Thank you. When I tried it without signing the profile it failed. Guessing even though the cert is signed by Jamf when deploying it had an issue with it. I signed it and it worked for the next account I tried. I'm going to test it out some more but it seems like this will work so far.

Hey @geoff_widdowson also for me there is something always there, in my case touchID.

Did you resolve you issue somehow?


I have the same issue like here, so Accessibility, Data & Privacy, Touch ID & Theme after jamf connect login. I did setup a profile but this doesnt skip TouchID, even I disabled that as well.


Any Idea?

I never got around the issue, just had to live with it.
