# Don't allow the Guest user to log in

By default, macOS allows a Guest user account that grants access to the general macOS system and apps without login credentials. The Guest user is considered a security vulnerability because it does not have a password.

It is recommended that the Guest user account be disabled on all macOS systems unless there is a demonstrated need.

### Enabling this Parameter

When enabled, Kandji will ensure the Guest user feature is disabled. During each check-in, Kandji will verify and adjust settings to the disabled state should they change.

### Disabling this Parameter

Disabling this parameter stops Kandji from disabling the Guest user feature during each check-in. The feature will remain disabled until a user enables the Guest user again.
