| Description | ||||
| The prompt for Siri during Setup Assistant must be disabled. Organizations must apply organizationwide configuration settings. The macOS Siri Assistant Setup prompt guides new users through enabling their own specific Siri settings. This is not essential and, therefore, must be disabled to prevent the risk of individuals electing Siri settings with the potential to override organizationwide settings. | ||||
