Allow Login Credentials to be Saved (Host Preferences)
Deploy settings allowing users with permission to use automatic authentication to securely save their username and password to the client when connecting to a host.
Host Preference Packages can only be applied to Windows hosts.
Who can use this feature? The Host Preference Packages feature is available to any Account Holder of a Central Base account. For those Account Holders who have not switched over to a Base plan yet, a Central Premier or Plus subscription is required. Users of such accounts also need the Configuration Management permission.
This option is selected by default (host credentials can be saved). Revoke this permission to prevent users from saving their credentials on the client when connecting to a host.
