Monterey login after sleep

Hello, I'm currently seeing an issue with "login after sleep" function.

Until last week everything just worked fine, but now i can't enable the login after sleep function in system settings, the button is greyed out and inactive. I need to login after a restart, that's fine, as automatic login is deactivated.

I've already tried to restart mac, also tried out different options, but none of them had an effect.

Something that confused me a little bit, is that the option "com.apple.screensaver" just had the value of tokenRemovalAction. Former macOS versions had askForPassword and askForPasswordDelay stored under it, but maybe this resides elsewhere.

Any help is really appreciated.

Shortly a screenshot:

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

Yes that would account for this issue.

When a computer is Enrolled in a Mobile Digital Management Program ( MDM ) they actually have total control over the computer including what can be installed and what can not be installed.

It would be best to communicate Directly with the MDM Service and / or the Company IT Department to enable the additional functionality one desires.

Try restart the computer in Safe Mode and see of one can enable " Passwort etc. )

Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.

No, same problem under Safe Mode. But maybe I've got an idea, where the issue comes from.

Although I've got administrator rights on this machine, it's managed by the company I'm working for via profiles. There was an profile update und I would bet that this update is the root problem.
