Can we add a "Guest" account to about 150 Macbooks remotely?

Looking for a way to not touch all of them to be able to do this?

If so, what's the workflow?

Thanks!

@johnnyg08 You can create a policy in Jamf Pro that just creates a new user.

Thank you. I thought it would be harder. That was crazy easy. Thanks again!

Hey all. Sorry first question here. I'm a complete noob to all this. But how would I do this same sort of thing, but where I only push it to a system as needed, as well as delete the account when no longer needed? I'm wanting to make a temporary account for a repair depot to use to test systems on occasion. This is also literally my first attempt at making a policy or anything, Thanks!
