Allow Network Selection

AllowNetworkSelection

When set to true, users can configure and confirm their network connection preferences from the login window. To join an available network, users click the Wi-Fi icon in the top-right of the login window.

Note:

To ensure the security of computers, macOS prohibits some network connections from using the Captive Network Assistant application. This application is unavailable at the login window, and users cannot connect to captive portal networks on macOS until they log in.
