A CLI tool is available for autologin: sudo sysadminctl -autologin set -userName {USER} -password {PASSWORD}

sudo sysadminctl -autologin off disables it

'-adminPassword' used mostly for scripted operation. Use '-' or 'interactive' to get the authentication string interactively. This preferred for security reasons

    *Role accounts require name starting with _ and UID in 200-400 range.
