Starting August 15, 2019, we’re rolling out a new local admin account to 10.14 Macs, All izzy-manged macs have an admin account: “UM-Support”. This account is designed to be primarily used:

  • During pre-delivery phases, for verifying the build or restoring user data.

    • Logging in as UM-Support will enable FileVault when appropriate, based on the policy domain in Izzy.

  • Situations where AD “M-1” accounts are not working or not getting admin rights - often in a remote support sessionFor other “administrative” tasks when other administrative accounts are not available.

The password for the UM-Support account is visible in Izzy under the “Support Account Details” action on each system’s Izzy page.

...

Please advise users not to delete either of these accounts. If they do the account(s) will be restored at next login.

NOTE: Macs that are deployed as “At Home” builds will not show “UM Support” at the FileVault unlock screen until the account is actually logged into at the Login Window.
