# isUserAuthenticationEnabled

The current status of system user authentication.

## Declaration

```swift
var isUserAuthenticationEnabled: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This value is true if the system requires device owner authentication challenges to reveal the content of the scene associated with this manager, false otherwise. note: This value represents whether protection is enabled in general. It doesn’t indicate the instantaneous state of whether any system-provided shield covers the UI at the moment.
