El capitan screen lock

How can I disable the screen saver password for all users? Users have to restart the mac to log in if another user forgets to log out because the "require password 5 minutes after sleep or screen saver begins" setting in the security and privacy pane in the system preferences. This is on El capitan

Mac OS X

From what I've read, about the only way to disable such a feature system-wide is via configuration profiles and the like. Software such as JAMF will also give you that kind of control.

Other than those options, I think you'll have to consider messing with .plist files. If I have time, I will investigate further to determine which pref file or equivalent might do the job, assuming it's even possible.
