You can lock the screen while caffeinated though.

Automatic screensaver enable after a period of inactivity is considered a fail safe control.

  • `caffeinate` can set assertions, the same assertions that Zoom or PowerPoint or Keynote do to stop the screen going to sleep during a meeting or presentation, the same assertions that the browsers can set during streaming video, so you absolutely can bypass whatever your admins set using `caffeinate -dmisu` which sets every assertion available.

    • It’s not about capabilities, it’s about policy. Willfully violating security policies is generally going to go over poorly.
