If you need to delete a managed local administrator account, Jamf recommends doing so using one of the following methods:

  1. Navigate to the inventory record for the computer, and then click Local User Accounts > Manage > Remove User.

  2. Use a policy with a Local Accounts payload to delete the account.

    For more information, see Local Accounts in the Jamf Pro Documentation.

Jamf does not recommend executing a dscl command in Terminal to delete managed local administrator accounts. Deleting an account this way will cause the account and password to remain in the computer's inventory record.
