Jamf pro "log out users after X Minutes" policy - can't disable

Hi

I’ve made a config profile on jamf pro to lock the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity, just a simple policy, nothing special

But I had left the Log out users after 30 minutes ticked. I’ve now disabled that, and completely remade the config profile itself

But the 30 minute log out is still enabled on the macs

 

What am I doing wrong here? Is that even the right place I should be looking?

Thanks

Edit your profile and make a slight change. Then undo your change. That should be enough to tell Jamf Pro it’s different.

When saving, be sure to select the option to distribute to all (scoped) computers.
