Administrator Account Password and MFA (Apple Mac)

Administrator Account Info

Administrator accounts are only to be used as dictated by technical requirements imposed by a specific software, or as directed by IT.  In those cases, the administrator account should be logged in for no longer than the specific action requires.  Users are responsible for all actions taken with their assigned administrator account.  Therefore, the account should not be shared with any other users.

Upon receiving new administrator account credentials, users must complete the MFA and Password setup steps below.

Step 1 - Configure Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

From the Jamf Connect login screen, sign into the Mac using your new a.TUNetID@utulsa.edu account.

After creating a new password, Jamf Connect will prompt you to re-enter the new password.  This puts the password in sync locally with your Mac.
