Prevent first account on Mac being set up as administrator

Hello very new to Jamf. Have set up in prestage enrollment a local admin account (with admin permissions) and was hoping to use that local account as the one required to make any changes.

Also, have the box checked in the policy to require admin when installing/deleting apps

 

However - when the macs go through enrollment and first user is prompted to create an account, it is set up as administrator. It can uninstall apps, send things to trash (after using creds) etc. I want this to be a standard account

 

What am I missing?

In your Prestage, under 'Account Settings', make sure the Local User Account Type is set to 'Standard User'.
