Open Enrollment & Activation Lock Bypass

I've been researching Jamf NOW as a potential MDM solutions for some Mac's we plan to buy but I've found some of the documentation contradictory.

In this particular case I'm trying to determine if a device enrolled using Open Enrollment will have the option to use Activation Lock Bypass.

The article on Supervision states that the feature requires both supervision and Automated Device Enrollment, but the article on Open Enrollment states that the device will share it's bypass code when Find My is enabled which suggests it also supports the feature.

So which is it?

You will find Jamf Nows documentation to be someone lacking at best. Jamf Now is still just a MDM, and must behave how Apples framework tells it to work. When Activiation Lock is enabled, the bypass key is escrowed to the MDM. Or you could just disable Activation Lock and stop users from turning it on to begin with.
