NinjaOne uninstall prevention can be enabled to prevent end users from having the ability to uninstall the NinjaOne agent from their device. This feature is currently for Windows agents only.

  1. Navigate to Administration > General > Settings and click Edit to the right of "Ninja agent uninstall prevention."
