Switch User On Screen Lock

Hello!

I have Jamf connect set up on a Mac and when the display is locked and waiting for a password after so many minutes of inactivity, the only options I see are to enter the password or "cancel" which puts the display to sleep.

I'd like to get it configured so that when the display is locked after inactivity that there be a way to switch to another user so if someone walks away and the screen gets locked, another user can still log into their account (without force powering off the iMac).

 

Any ideas?

@dtmille2  Any luck with this issue is there a support ticket in with Jamf?

I turned off screen lock after X minutes of  inactivity and instead configured an automatic logout after X minutes of inactivity to deal with the issue.

How did you setup that up in Jamf Pro?

I used the Login Window profile, I believe it is called, configured with an automatic logout.

Thanks for that I’ll take a look.
