Looks like the login payload for fast user Switching doesn't work on new mac OS 11 and one else have that issue?

Seeing the same thing here - It works inasmuch as it grey out the option and doesn't allow the user to change the setting but it doesn't actually set Fast User Switching to be enabled.


I'm seeing the same, It's grey out the option and doesn't allow the user to change the setting and it doesn't actually set Fast User Switching to be enabled. I was able to add a device as an exception to the configuration policy, and then set Fast User Switching and then remove the exception. Not a solution but a workaround if you need this on.


not sure if you created a case yet. but if you can that will tell jamf to find a fix. thanks!


I'm also seeing this issue, if there's not an open case yet I'll open one.


Has anyone seen a fix for this?


I've just opened a support case on this issue.


Anyone find a workaround for this?


Same issue -- any resolution to this yet?


Same here....


Same

Add me to the list...


it seems like they moved the payload from the login payload to a globalpreferences payload. that still doesn't exist in jamf.

Keep waiting I guess.


Mid-June 2021 and still seeing this issue.


It's currently a product issue is what we got told by support. I guess more pressure needs applying to actually get a fix.

"PI-009059 - Computers with macOS 11 or later fail to respect the Enable Fast User Switching setting in the Login Window payload of a computer configuration profile."

Me too...


Here as well

Same issue here. I need this option for my labs, hopefully they find a fix soon.


add another lab to the list that needs this option back. 


+1 more org with labs that need a fix for this.


Also needed here. Surprising to find it's been a lingering issue for so long.


Does anybody have a working script to enable fast user switching in the menu bar?


Here some commands that DONT work:

 

defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist MultipleSessionEnabled -bool truedefaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.controlcenter.plist UserSwitcher -int 18defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist menuExtras -array-add '<string>/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/User.menu</string>'
