Recon account issue

Hi All

questions about using Recon. When choosing network scanner, the management account that we use in recon, is it gonna create the same account in the remote Mac as a local admin account?

When choosing quick add package, the management account required us to input, is it gonna create the same account in the remote Mac as a local admin account as well?

When using the network scanner it requires the credentials to a management account already on the machine to be able to ssh in to enroll that machine.

When using the QuickAdd.pkg option it will create the required management account (if it does not already exist) as a hidden user with admin rights.

The management account is a necessary part of the workflow of Casper as it gives the ability to alter that machine with root priveleges.
