I am working on pushing out an account via a policy. I would like for this user to be a FileVault 2 user. When looking at the "Enable user for FileVault 2" there is an "i". It states:
"As of macOS 10.13, you cannot use this method to enable a user for FileVault. For macOS 10.13 and later, you can use a script or configuration profile to enable a user for FileVault."
I am trying how to do this via a configuration profile. None of the settings seem to allow this. Can someone point me to how to properly do this?

I'm not sure why it says that... because the best way to deploy FileVault for macOS 10.13+ is via policy. Also, there are reports that FileVault is not enabling on logout in 10.15. I have it done on log in so not an issue for me.

... And reading it again, it says you can't use a configuration profile to "enable a user" for FileVault. Looks like a secure token thing.

I am currently using a script that passes the username/password of a local admin account using parameters. I guess this will do!
