Hey,
Our organization manages macOS devices, and users often experience their devices automatically connecting to previously saved networks due to auto-join being enabled. However, when they attempt to disable auto-join, it requires admin privileges.
Is there a way to let non-admin users control this setting without IT intervention? Any insights would be appreciated!

Have you checked Hexnode’s Wi-Fi settings? You can try unchecking the Auto-join option there. Here’s the link: Auto-join.
I think that only applies to new networks deployed via Hexnode, not existing saved networks.
Hey, try running these commands in Terminal, or push them via execute custom script in Hexnode:

#!/bin/bash sudo security authorizationdb write system.preferences allow; sudo security authorizationdb write system.preferences.network allow; sudo security authorizationdb write system.services.systemconfiguration.network allow; sudo security authorizationdb write com.apple.wifi allow |
Thank you! That worked perfectly.
Anything to prevent my Windows devices from automatically connecting to untrusted open Wi-Fi hotspots?
Hey, we have implemented something similar. These are the restrictions that we disabled:
The first restriction we disabled should cover your needs. I’d also recommend taking a look at the second one – it makes sure users only connect to Wi-Fi networks set up through MDM.
That did the trick, thanks.
