Addigy provides a simple way to create and manage a user account on a group of Macs in your organization. This can solve the problem of needing a consistent "IT Manager" account on each device for support purposes.

Note: These users will not have a Secure Token; however, if a device's Bootstrap Token is escrowed, the accounts will be granted a Secure Token upon first login. The Bootstrap Token should automatically escrow upon MDM enrollment.

Warning: It is highly recommended that you use a strong password when creating a user account, especially for administrator-level access.

1. To create the OS User, first Navigate to the Catalog Page, and click OS Users, and then click New:

2. From here the Create New User window will open and will have the following Components: Screen_Shot_2022-02-15_at_10.54.12_AM.png

  • Full Name - This will be the Display Name and can contain spaces
  • Account Name - This name should not contain spaces as it will be the name of the /Users/$AccountName home directory
  • Type -  This will either be Standard or Admin
  • Password - This will be the password that will be set for the user. This will need to follow any password requirements set on the device
