When I need to connect to the graphical environment I am using TightVNC from Windows 10. In my current workflow, I am using the MacMini as a "headless" computer with no monitor attached. The settings as configured in the policy will be enforced.I just purchased an M1 MacMini to dive into iOS/macOS development.

Once the policy is associated, screensaver will be enabled on the target devices and users will not be able to modify the Screen Saver timer settings under System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver. Choose the target devices, device groups, users, user groups or domains and click Associate.Click on Manage drop-down, select Associate Targets.Choose the desired policy from the Policies tab.You can also choose to associate the policy with device groups, users, user groups, or domains from the left pane of Policy Targets tab. Choose the target devices and click Ok.Once the settings are configured, associate the policy with target devices. If both Screensaver and Auto-Lock are configured, then the most restrictive setting (lesser time) will get reflected on the device.If Auto-Lock is configured in the policy, then the Screensaver will get automatically enabled on the device even if it has not been configured via Hexnode portal.You can choose the values from 5 sec, 30 sec, 1 min to 5 mins. Default value is 1 min.Įnabling this option prompts the user to enter a password for the device to wake from screensaver/sleep mode.Enabled by defaultĬhoose the time of inactivity before the password prompt appears to unlock the screen. You can choose the values from 1 min, 2mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins, or 1 hour. Specify the duration of inactivity in seconds after which the screensaver can become active. Specify in number of seconds, the duration of inactivity at the login window before the screensaver activates.

The below settings work only if Enable Screensaver is checked. Click Configure.Įnable this option to activate screensaver on your Mac.Enabled by default Navigate to macOS > Configurations, choose Screensaver.You can also choose to continue with an existing policy. Assign a suitable name and description (optional) for the policy. To configure Screensaver settings on your Mac via Hexnode, Configure Screensaver for macOS devices.
