MacOS and Linux users—Lock individual ESET security product settings via policy
Password protection for settings is not available in ESET security products for macOS and Linux. However, you can lock individual ESET security product settings via policy in ESET PROTECT. If a policy is correctly configured and applied on a client computer via ESET PROTECT, ESET security product settings cannot be changed on a client computer.
Verify that all settings set via policy in ESET PROTECT are locked. Click the full grey dot next to a setting in a policy to set and lock these settings (the full grey dot turns blue when enabled).
