Description
We can use the maximum auto-lock setting on a Jamf School device profile to ensure that the auto-lock feature cannot be set to Never.
Note: The auto-lock configuration in Jamf School defines the maximum time allowed for auto-lock but does not set a fixed duration. Students can still choose any time below the configured maximum
Setting Maximum Auto-Lock
To set a maximum auto-lock time and remove the "Never" option:
In Jamf School go to Profiles > Overview and either select the a profile with the passcode payload configured already or create a new iOS profile.
Select the Passcode payload (and for new profiles click Configure).
Under "Maximum Auto-Lock" choose the longest auto-lock time you want to be available to users. This configuration allows students to choose intervals between 1 minute and 1 hour, but does not allow the "Never" option.
Click Save.
Click Scope and ensure desired device groups are in scope. Click Save if changes are made.
