Hi all, 

We are in the middle of configuring jamf Pro, and we need our MacBook users to have a standard account and then a secondary admin account, we are using Connect to link back to MS Entra and now wondering if it is possible to have a second account on the MacBooks for users to use as an admin account. All accounts would be created in Entra. 

Thanks

Here’s my question - what’s the use case here? Just to have a backdoor admin account? If so, use the prestage account and LAPS. If it’s for the users to have admin permissions, then why not use the temp admin access via JAMF connect?
 

That account that you’re asking for would be created on the fly at login - just make sure your JAMF connect configurations are set to have the group for the admin account to include admin permissions at login. 

I find your lack of faith disturbing
