Beginning with Jamf Connect 2.45.0, the Shut down, Restart, Sleep, and Local login buttons are now located in the upper-right corner of the screen to resemble the native login window experience of macOS 14 and later.

If the Require Network Authentication (DenyLocal) setting not enabled, the user can bypass network authentication and log in with their local account credentials. This login method is also available if a network connection is not available and the Allow Local Fallback (LocalFallback) setting is enabled.
