Managing Allow Power Off to the Users

Managing Allow Power Off to the Users

The Allow Power Off Restriction feature in WeGuard enables administrators to control whether users can manually power off a managed device.

When this restriction is disabled, users will not be able to switch off the device manually. This ensures the device remains active, monitored, and compliant with organizational security policies, especially important for company-owned, kiosk, or field-deployed devices.


Enable "Allow Power Off" for End Users

  • Log in to the WeGuard Console.

  • Navigate to Policies and Select the Policy.



  • Click on the Security tab, select Allow power off toggling it "On"



  • Click Save and Confirm the changes. Once the policy sync, end users will be able to power off the device.


Notes

For company-owned or monitored devices, it is recommended to Disable Allow Power Off to prevent unauthorized shutdown.
