Create a Device Level macOS Login Window Text Policy

This policy manages the text present on the login window. The text entered into the text field will be shown at the login window on selected machines. Due to the reduced size of the login window space on macOS Monterey, displays under 900 pixels in vertical height might experience display overlap between the login area and policy text that is displayed on the screen.

Prerequisites

• Apple Mobile Device Management (MDM) must be configured for your organization and Mac computers must be enrolled in JumpCloud MDM. See Set up Apple MDM. 
• This policy is supported on Mac computers running macOS 11 and later.
• Devices must have an active network connection for this policy to take effect.

Considerations

• The policy configuration settings are applied automatically and do not require a system restart.
