Create a self-protection policy
Self-protection allows ePolicy Orchestrator administrators to enable password protection for
preferences in the client interface for managed Macs.
Enabling password protection prevents local users from modifying preferences that are defined by the
ePolicy Orchestrator administrator, and prevents uninstalling the software on managed Macs. When
local users try to modify preferences or try to uninstall the software, the application prompts for the
ePolicy Orchestrator password.
